About Susan
Susan Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship strain. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at small steps that lead to clearer choices and calmer days.
She draws on two decades of clinical experience and uses therapies that focus on how relationships and thoughts shape behavior. Sessions often include skill practice, checking how thoughts influence feelings, and noticing patterns that repeat in close relationships.
Background and approach
Clients can expect concrete tools they can use between sessions. Susan places attention on attachment-related concerns and on building self-awareness. That means looking at how early relationships influence current worries like abandonment, codependency, and communication problems.
She also works with people facing addiction, mood issues such as depression or bipolar symptoms, and experiences of trauma and abuse. Her approach balances supportive listening with active problem-solving. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness, while cognitive behavioral strategies address unhelpful thinking.
Dialectical behavior ideas help when emotions feel overwhelming and people need clearer coping choices. Susan offers sessions by video call, phone, chat, or text messaging. International clients who speak English can work with her.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can help identify repeated relationship dynamics and guide new ways of relating to others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often includes tracking thoughts between appointments, practicing new behaviors, and reviewing homework together to change unhelpful thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean blending attachment ideas with CBT and mindfulness techniques until the fit feels right.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that helps. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera time is a concern. Live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer writing over speaking.
These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, practice new skills between meetings, and keep momentum toward change without long commutes.
