About Susan
Susan "Sue" Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Sue works with adults on a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and relationship struggles.
Sue describes therapy as a team effort. She listens without judgment and helps people name what they want to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Her background includes graduate study in the behavioral sciences and a professional diploma in marriage and family therapy. Over nearly two decades she has supported people facing grief, domestic violence, parenting strain, and major life transitions. She has experience helping people recover after community trauma such as Hurricane Sandy.
Sue uses a flexible approach tailored to each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person's priorities, cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally focused methods to improve connection in relationships. Narrative and solution-focused ideas also shape brief, goal-oriented work.
In sessions she helps clients practice new ways of communicating, manage stress, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She supports people figuring out parenting challenges, navigating blended family dynamics, or sorting feelings after loss. The aim is practical change that feels doable.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and offering empathy. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and reflect what matters most to the client, helping clarify goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors. In video or phone sessions Sue can teach specific skills, set homework, and check progress between meetings using messages or text-based tools.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and connection in relationships. When couples or individuals explore patterns, online formats can support focused conversations and real-time coaching to try new ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick support, follow-up, and tracking small changes between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving routines.
