About Susan

Susan Sigl is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 33 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and addiction. Her work also covers stress, relationship concerns, ADHD, and career questions.

Susan takes a practical approach. She listens to what is happening now, notices patterns in thoughts and behavior, and suggests small, testable changes. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings. Progress is tracked in concrete ways rather than vague goals.

She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered methods. That means she looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going, while also paying attention to the person’s perspective and goals. The mix aims to reduce symptoms and build skills for everyday life.

Susan has experience with a wide range of related concerns. These include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, codependency, domestic violence, substance use, family of origin problems, first responder stress, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life topics, and coping with life changes. She also addresses shame, guilt, hoarding, and life purpose questions.

In sessions she is direct about treatment options and practical about next steps. People can expect concrete tools for managing stress, strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, and space to talk through difficult life events. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that maintain stress and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills - thought records, behavior experiments, and step-by-step coping strategies that can be practiced between meetings.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening to the person’s experience and building goals together. That approach helps when someone needs time to clarify what matters before moving to skills-based work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss options and together decide what fits the client’s goals and daily routine. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is observed.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find it easier to keep regular appointments and to apply skills in their everyday settings when sessions are held remotely.
