Susan “Sue”(nickname) Wildermann

Susan “Sue” Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 18 years of clinical experience. She uses a team-based approach and treats the person in front of her with respect and directness. Sue aims to make conversations easy to start and keeps sessions down to earth for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions.

Sue describes her style as eclectic and collaborative. She helps people sort through family tensions, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and grief. She also works with issues such as depression, ADHD, stress, bipolar concerns, intimacy-related problems, and anger. Her background includes working with people affected by domestic violence and survivors of disaster-related trauma.

In sessions Sue focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day life. She listens first, then helps build small, achievable changes. She supports parents and grandparents who want to improve how they handle conflict and set boundaries. She also helps individuals manage strong emotions and rebuild trust after difficult events.

Sue draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused techniques, narrative methods, and solution-focused strategies. She aims to empower people to use their strengths and make choices that move their lives forward.

People who prefer a straightforward, nonjudgmental therapist often find her style a good match. Those wanting a calm, steady guide for family conflict, anger, or trauma-related concerns may find the way she frames goals helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Sue often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people name their goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through strong feelings like anger or grief.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people try small behavior changes and practice different responses to stress, anxiety, or anger triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Goals and techniques can shift as progress is made, and Sue frames choices as a shared decision rather than a set program.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. It can also let people use different pacing for skill practice between meetings, which can be helpful when managing anger and rebuilding relationships.
