About Susan
Susan Sigl is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Wisconsin with 33 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and stress. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, relationship and career strain, and challenges related to identity and LGBT issues.
Her work often focuses on life changes and painful past events like abandonment or family of origin problems. Adoption and foster care appear among her additional focus areas, so she is familiar with related themes that can come up in therapy. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded in each person’s real life circumstances.
Susan uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and experiences. She also works with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice patterns of thinking and try new behaviors. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers tools to manage emotions and everyday stressors.
People can expect straightforward conversations, goal setting, and skills practice when appropriate. She addresses topics like compassion fatigue, substance use, grief at end of life, and questions of identity with directness and care. Her style is calm, respectful, and focused on finding workable steps forward.
For someone looking for help with adoption or foster care related issues, trauma, or long-term mood or anxiety problems, she brings decades of experience and a practical, person-focused approach.
How her approaches guide online work
Susan uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as cornerstones of her approach. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s goals, creating space for them to tell their story and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps ensure interventions match the client’s needs and daily life demands.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking to know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also allow shorter or more frequent sessions when that fits better with work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people maintain steady progress while balancing other life commitments.
