Susan “Sue”(nickname) Wildermann , LPC

Susan “Sue” Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 18 years of clinical experience. She draws on a master's degree in the behavioral sciences and a professional diploma in marriage and family therapy to guide her work. Sue presents herself as approachable and nonjudgmental and treats therapy as a team effort that centers the client's goals.

Her practice focuses on practical change. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, compulsive behaviors, and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions, including aging and geriatric issues.

Sue uses an adaptable style rather than a single method. She employs client-centered conversation and solution-focused steps to identify small, achievable goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused work to address patterns that keep people stuck.

Many clients come for help with family and partner concerns. Sue has experience working with individuals, parents, grandparents, and couples to improve communication and day-to-day interactions. She has also supported people affected by disasters, including trauma after Hurricane Sandy.

Sue aims to help people recognize strengths and practice new ways of coping. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers concrete strategies people can try between meetings. Her goal is to empower clients to make changes that fit their real life.

How Sue’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and clarifies their goals so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward tools and exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which works well for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional connection and patterns in close relationships. It can be useful when people want to improve communication, repair bonds, or manage intense emotions with a partner or family member.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sue will work with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Depending on the session options available, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid camera use when that helps them focus. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking so the logistics match your needs.
