About Susan
Susan “Sue” Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and stress. Sue also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy issues, anger, and career-related stress.
Sue takes a practical, collaborative approach. She treats therapy as a team effort and uses several methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that can be practiced between meetings.
Her work includes supporting people who have experienced domestic violence and other abuse, and those coping with disaster-related trauma. She has experience helping parents and grandparents adjust their approach so family relationships can function better. Sue has also worked with people facing adoption and foster care challenges, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and the effects of aging.
Sue lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among the approaches she uses, alongside Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She emphasizes identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps.
Sessions begin with assessing current concerns and practical goals. Sue aims to make suggestions that people can try right away, then reviews what worked and adjusts the plan as needed. The focus stays on clear, manageable steps rather than on lengthy theory.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into concrete steps and gives simple exercises to practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens and reflects so the client can clarify goals, try options, and decide what changes feel right. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions affect close relationships and helps people notice interaction patterns and try new ways of responding.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress or new concerns emerge.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use focused, goal-oriented tools in remote sessions just as in person, and the planning-and-practice style of CBT translates well to a remote setting.
