About Susan
Susan Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and codependency. Susan uses clear, practical steps so clients can start making changes without getting overwhelmed.
Susan brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. She helps people set realistic goals and notices patterns that keep them stuck. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try new ways of responding to old problems.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and relationship patterns. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness practices to support emotional awareness and moment-to-moment coping. Susan integrates these approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
Practical skills and real-life application are part of the process. Clients can expect homework they can actually use between sessions, like short mindfulness exercises or behavior experiments to test new ways of relating. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Susan aims to create a space where people can examine family of origin issues, work through feelings of abandonment or emptiness, and develop stronger boundaries. She also supports those facing career stress, caregiver burden, and changes tied to separation or recovery from substance use.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Susan commonly uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past bonds affect current reactions. Client-centered work centers the client's experience and uses reflective listening to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Susan will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. Together they will review what helps and adjust the plan over time to find the best mix of strategies.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and to maintain continuity when life changes make in-person visits difficult.
