About Susan
Susan Sigl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 33 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and other hard-to-manage concerns. Her style is calm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier.
Susan listens first to understand what is most pressing for each person. She offers straightforward tools to manage symptoms and to cope with big life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the issues a person brings, such as work stress, relationship strain, or questions about identity and purpose. Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, grief work, and substance use issues. She also supports people facing career challenges, compassion fatigue, and complex family-of-origin concerns.
That experience helps her spot patterns and suggest realistic alternatives to unhelpful habits. Therapy with Susan blends a person-centered attitude and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she centers the conversation on the client's goals while teaching practical ways to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
Together, client and therapist set small, achievable steps between sessions. Susan values clear communication and a steady, respectful pace. She aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions and to restore a sense of control over daily life.
Her work is meant to be useful, approachable, and focused on what the client needs now.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a nonjudgmental conversation and active listening so the client feels heard and understood. Online sessions follow the same idea - the therapist centers sessions on the client's priorities and reflections to help people make sense of their experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote work, CBT often includes brief exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice that patients can use in daily life to manage anxiety, mood, or ADHD-related challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then suggest techniques to try. Goals and methods are reviewed and adjusted together so treatment stays relevant to the person's needs.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit brief updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to practice skills between sessions.
