01About Sara
Sara Schuessler is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She offers straightforward support for grief, anger, self-esteem, and life changes. Her approach is warm and focused on what each person wants to achieve.
She practices from Missouri and uses conversational, goal-oriented work that many find easy to follow. Sara draws from client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the person's experience.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice patterns of thinking and try practical alternatives. Solution-focused techniques guide brief goal-setting and steps people can use between sessions. Her background includes many years working in varied settings such as residential treatment centers, homes, and schools.
That experience shaped her skill at handling practical problems like school struggles, impulsivity, and family conflict concerns. She has worked with issues related to trauma, ADHD, and isolation among other focus areas. Sessions emphasize collaboration.
Clients set goals and choose what to work on while she offers strategies, feedback, and homework when useful. Her style is down-to-earth and directed toward real-life change rather than jargon or long theory discussions. Outside of work she enjoys cycling, reading, watching new shows, shopping, and spending time with family and their dog.
Her mix of clinical experience and practical focus aims to make therapy feel usable and connected to daily life.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Sara uses client-centered work that keeps the person’s priorities in focus. This approach means sessions start with what matters most to the client and proceed at their pace. It helps when someone needs a listening ear and a plan guided by their own goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and unhelpful thinking patterns. These skills are often practiced between sessions to build new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sara collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. She adapts tools and pacing so the plan stays useful and manageable for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls work well for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, written reflections, or support between calls. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family obligations while still using the same therapeutic approaches described above.
