01About Susan
Susan Sigl is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with 33 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, grief, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. Her work also covers ADHD, bipolar concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she keeps the conversation straightforward. She listens first and then helps people set small, practical goals. Sessions often focus on coping skills, managing intense emotions, and improving daily routines that support mood and functioning.
Background and approach
Susan blends a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays close attention to what a person brings to the room while teaching tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The aim is to make changes that feel realistic and sustainable in everyday life.
She has worked with people dealing with family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment, and codependency. She also addresses substance use, domestic violence histories, first responder stress, gender dysphoria, and end-of-life topics. Practical problem solving and emotional validation are common parts of her sessions.
Susan’s style is calm and direct. She supports exploration of life purpose, guilt and shame, hoarding, and HIV/AIDS related concerns when they arise. Her background and long experience help her guide people through complex, overlapping issues.
People considering therapy are invited to discuss immediate worries, set short-term goals, and try techniques between sessions. That approach helps people see what works and make steady progress over time.

Approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and reflect, helping them clarify values and goals. This approach helps with grief, identity questions, relationship stress, and finding direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It teaches practical skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and to address compulsive or avoidant patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels helpful. Clients can expect a mix of listening, skill-teaching, and homework tasks to practice between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, progress updates, or practicing short coping strategies. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue momentum between meetings.
