About Susan

Susan “Sue” Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 18 years of clinical experience. She trained in behavioral sciences and holds a professional diploma in marriage and family therapy, and she blends multiple evidence-informed methods to match each client’s situation.

Background and approach

Sue approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping people identify strengths and practical steps to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, parenting challenges, grief, ADHD, and stress.

Her work often centers on repairing and strengthening family and partner relationships, supporting survivors of domestic violence and other traumas, and guiding clients through life transitions and career-related stress. Sue emphasizes a nonjudgmental, approachable presence and encourages clients to view themselves as the expert in their own lives while she offers structure, tools, and feedback.

She has experience supporting people affected by community disasters and other sudden changes, and she aims to empower clients to make meaningful, sustainable changes for themselves and their families.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration so that clients steer the pace and focus of sessions while a therapist offers reflective listening and validation to strengthen self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by using structured exercises and practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and attachment patterns to help partners and family members create more stable connections and resolve relational distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works together with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration may combine elements from different modalities to create a personalized plan focused on what the client hopes to change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other obligations. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own locations and to use the communication method that best supports their comfort and schedule, making it easier to maintain consistent progress over time.
