About Mildred
Mildred Spann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who brings 18 years of experience to her therapeutic work.
Background and approach
She focuses on common but impactful concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Her background includes extensive clinical practice helping people build practical skills to face everyday challenges.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness strategies, along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods, to create individualized plans. Mildred emphasizes a collaborative working relationship, inviting clients to help shape treatment goals and to practice tools they can use outside sessions.
She aims to offer compassionate, respectful care that honors each person’s voice while teaching concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving well-being. Clients can expect an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where practical skill-building is paired with attentive listening.
Mildred accepts international clients and provides sessions in English, adapting format and techniques to fit each person’s needs and availability.
Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Many of Mildred’s sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, focusing on empathetic listening and respect to help clients explore their experiences at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy is another common element in her work, teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can support anxiety, mood, and coping with difficult memories.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to clarify goals, try different techniques when appropriate, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful. This shared decision-making helps tailor interventions to individual needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and situations. These formats allow consistent access to a licensed professional from different locations and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and travel commitments. Mildred adapts methods to each format so therapeutic work can proceed effectively across the available communication styles.
