About Susan
Susan Hargett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and life changes. She also focuses on forgiveness, self-love, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and questions about life purpose.
Susan uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name what feels most urgent. She draws on several approaches to help clients develop routines, manage mood shifts, and practice new ways of responding to stress.
In sessions she may introduce tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when intense emotions or mood swings make day-to-day life harder. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment awareness that can reduce reactivity.
Susan values straightforward planning for change. She and the person she’s working with set small, achievable steps and check progress between meetings. This can include mood tracking, coping skills practice, and brief behavioral experiments to see what helps.
Her background across mood disorders and life transitions means she often supports people who are reconsidering work, relationships, or health after a major change. Sessions aim to clarify what matters now and to create practical next steps rather than promise a specific outcome.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Susan uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches that fit well with remote sessions. Client-centered work involves listening closely and reflecting back what is most important, which helps clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what actually helps with mood and anxiety.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Those skills can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together to refine what works. The selection of techniques is collaborative; the therapist and client discuss goals and pick methods that match the person’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family rhythms, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If a client prefers audio-only meetings to avoid being on camera, or needs brief sessions for a midday check-in, those are practical considerations to raise when scheduling.
