Susan “Sue”(nickname) Wildermann , LPC

Susan “Sue” Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 18 years of experience. She uses a collaborative style and treats therapy as a team effort. Sue aims to help people untangle painful patterns and find practical ways forward.

Sue works with individuals dealing with family stress, parenting struggles, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. She also helps people facing ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, and career-related stress. Women’s issues are among the areas she lists as a focus.

Her background includes a master’s degree in the behavioral sciences and a professional diploma in marriage and family therapy. Over nearly two decades she has supported people affected by domestic violence and by community trauma such as Hurricane Sandy. Those experiences shape a calm, steady approach in sessions.

Sue describes her manner as easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. In conversation she listens first, then helps clients try new behaviors or ways of thinking. Many sessions include practical steps the person can test between meetings.

She draws on several approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused and narrative methods, and solution-focused strategies. Together with each person she tailors the mix to match goals and life circumstances.

Sue’s practice blends empathy with clear problem-solving. People who want a therapist who listens, offers structure, and helps them develop skills often find this approach useful.

Approaches that translate to online care

Sue uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful space where the person’s goals guide the work. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting each person as they decide what to change and how to move forward.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle stress. CBT exercises often transfer well to online formats because they include homework and short practice tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sue collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone works when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter updates, skills practice, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and life commitments.
