About Susan
Susan Sigl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She brings 33 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, grief, and depression. She listens with patience and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Susan keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She starts by asking what matters most and then works with the person to set small, usable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on coping skills, clearer thinking, and ways to reduce intense reactions so daily life feels more steady. Her work often addresses how past relationships and family of origin issues affect present behavior. She also supports people facing career changes, caregiving strain, first responder stress, and the complex effects of trauma or loss.
Issues such as addiction, codependency, and compassion fatigue are addressed with direct tools and steady support. Susan uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she follows each person's lead while offering practical techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person needs. Over three decades in practice have given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar issues, gender dysphoria, and end-of-life counseling. People who come to her can expect clear feedback, coping strategies, and a focus on real-world change.

Approaches Susan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approach and access through online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, which can help with worry, anger, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their situation. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively so sessions match what the person needs in the moment.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different days and tasks. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels more helpful than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling life commitments.
