Sara Schuessler, LPC

Sara Schuessler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and blended family issues.

Sara draws on client-centered practice while using cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. She emphasizes practical steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals and manageable changes rather than theory-heavy explanations.

Her background includes work in residential treatment centers, schools, and home-based settings. Those roles gave experience with parenting problems, family conflict, school-related problems, and trauma care. She also has experience supporting people with attachment and relationship struggles, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.

Sara completed a Master of Arts in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Truman State University. She holds the LPC credential and has provided services across varied settings that shaped her practical style.

Sessions focus on what the individual wants to change and how to get there. She uses concrete strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thinking patterns and solution-focused methods to identify next steps. Trauma-focused ideas are available when past events affect current functioning.

Outside of work she enjoys cycling, reading, and spending time with family and her dog. Her style is straightforward and geared toward people who want clear, actionable support while handling the everyday demands of family life.
