About Susan
Susan Sigl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 33 years of experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addiction, and trauma. She focuses on practical support when life feels overwhelming. Her manner is calm and straightforward, aiming to make sessions easy to understand and use.
Susan listens carefully to what matters most to each person. She builds a respectful space where clients can talk about relationship problems, family of origin issues, work stress, or questions about identity.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by the client’s goals rather than a fixed agenda. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow what the client brings and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and patterns. Those approaches are used together to help people notice reactions, try small changes, and track what works in daily life.
Susan often helps people facing transitions such as divorce, adoption and foster care issues, career shifts, or end-of-life concerns. She also supports people coping with first responder stress, codependency, and substance use challenges. The focus is on practical steps and clearer decision-making.
Therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and helps people reflect on what they value and want to change. This approach is useful for building trust and working through issues like identity, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, depression, and some addiction-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Susan will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The plan can include short skill-building exercises or longer conversations, depending on the need.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and full conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for frequent, shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options help therapy fit a busy life and different communication preferences.
