About Susan

Susan Hargett is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing mood challenges, anxiety, stress, and questions about life direction. She centers her work on supporting clients as they build self-compassion, identify purpose, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses a range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood patterns, seasonal mood shifts, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and coping with life changes, with additional attention to forgiveness and self-love. Bringing 11 years of clinical experience to each case, Susan combines evidence-informed tools with a warm, client-centered stance.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and skills-based methods to help clients reframe unhelpful thinking, manage intense emotions, and create practical coping strategies. Sessions emphasize collaboration and tailored plans so clients leave with concrete steps for daily life.

Clients can expect thoughtful, individualized care that respects their unique story and goals. Susan aims to foster greater clarity, steadier mood management, and an increased sense of personal agency so people can move forward with renewed confidence and purpose.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Susan frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering structured tools for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathic listening and collaborative exploration, helping clients feel heard while they clarify values, purpose, and self-compassion.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns; DBT provides practical techniques for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - she will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which together offer flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while fitting sessions into everyday life, so clients can practice skills between meetings and apply strategies where they live and work.
