About Susan
Susan "Sue" Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 18 years of clinical experience. She uses a collaborative approach and treats therapy as a team effort with each client. Sue aims to make conversations straightforward and easy to have, helping people talk through anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles.
She holds a Master’s in the Behavioral Sciences and a Professional Diploma in Marriage and Family Therapy. Sue draws on several practical methods rather than a single model.
Background and approach
She prefers plain language and focuses on small, doable changes clients can use right away. Sue has worked with people affected by domestic violence and those who faced trauma after Hurricane Sandy. She also supports people navigating parenting, blended family challenges, adoption and foster-care concerns, and caregiver stress.
Her work addresses anger, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions as well. In sessions she listens without judgment and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sue helps people identify strengths and build plans that fit their daily routines.
She often uses goal-focused steps to reduce symptoms and improve relationships. Practical skills, clear feedback, and respectful dialogue make up her style. A typical session might include talking through a recent problem, testing a new coping skill, and setting a short next step.
Sue’s goal is for people to leave feeling a bit more capable than when they arrived.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions to anxiety, relationship problems, and parenting struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and compulsive behaviors and to build new coping habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift the emotional patterns that keep relationships stuck. It is useful for improving connection and handling intense feelings in close relationships.
Sue approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to try approaches and adjust based on what fits their goals and daily life. Together they pick strategies that match the person’s needs and preferences rather than following a single plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues during deeper conversations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be used for brief check-ins or to fit a break at work. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions.
