About Susan
Susan Sigl is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 33 years of clinical experience. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and related life changes. Her work also covers concerns tied to relationships, family of origin issues, career strain, and questions about gender and sexual identity.
Susan uses straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the problem. Sessions focus on manageable goals and small changes that make everyday life feel easier.
Her background includes long-term work with people who face co-occurring difficulties such as substance use, trauma histories, and chronic stress. She also has experience addressing adoption and foster care matters, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and first responder issues.
Susan draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person in front of her and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. Those approaches guide how she helps someone reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits.
She works with issues related to anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, and offers perspectives for coping with divorce, abandonment, and codependency. People who come for help can expect clear steps, practical strategies, and a respectful, steady presence throughout the work.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. It involves listening closely and reflecting back what matters most. This approach helps people clarify values, sort out feelings about family or partnership stress, and decide practical next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple experiments and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, or address addictive patterns. CBT often uses worksheets and short between-session tasks to keep progress steady.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That happens collaboratively, with adjustments over time as the work clarifies what helps most.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or keep appointments while managing childcare or work commitments.
