About Susan
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with 16 years of experience. Dr. Susan Wise focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and mood issues. She also works with parenting strain, sleep problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and Esperanto, and she accepts international clients.
Dr. Wise uses practical, conversational methods to help people manage day-to-day struggles. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and create small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build actions that align with those values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are needed.
Her approach is client-centered and attachment-informed, which means she listens for how current relationships and early patterns affect present life. Therapy typically involves clear goals, skill practice between sessions, and short-term problem solving when that fits the concern. Longer work is an option for more complex issues such as hoarding or hospice and end-of-life needs.
Dr. Wise has experience addressing veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, jealousy, and LGBT-related matters. She helps people facing the practical effects of addiction and supports those coping with depression or chronic stress. Work on sleep problems and career decisions often blends CBT techniques with values-based planning.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions consistent with those values. Online ACT work often includes short exercises and practical commitments to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and on practicing different responses. In remote sessions CBT typically uses brief skill-building, worksheets, and behavioral experiments to do this work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, current challenges, and preferences together, then recommend methods to try. That collaborative planning is revisited as needs change so the work stays relevant to the client's life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, or useful when they prefer shorter check-ins or not being on camera. Online work can support learning DBT emotion regulation skills, practicing CBT experiments between sessions, and committing to ACT-based values steps without requiring travel.
