About Sara

Sara Schuessler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her therapeutic work.

Background and approach

She focuses on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, relationship and anger concerns, self esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Her background includes work in residential treatment centers, schools, and in-home settings, which has helped her develop practical skills for supporting clients across different life contexts.

Her style is warm and client-centered, emphasizing the client's own goals and perspective while offering structured techniques when helpful. She integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused interventions to create individualized plans that address current problems and build practical skills.

Sara has additional experience with attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, impulsivity, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, body image, women’s and young adult issues. Outside of clinical work she enjoys family time, reading, cycling on her Peloton, and casual shopping.

Availability is scheduled during weekday morning hours, and sessions are offered through a variety of remote formats to accommodate different needs and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, listening, and collaboration so clients set the pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone wants an accepting space to sort through feelings, define goals, and build motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and skill-building. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This flexibility allows sessions to be shaped by what proves most helpful over time rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls and phone sessions support real-time conversation and connection, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter, more frequent check-ins or flexible ways to process between sessions. These formats make regular care more accessible and easier to fit into daily life while allowing licensed professionals to apply the same therapeutic approaches across different communication methods.
