About Susan
Susan Sigl is a licensed professional counselor with 33 years of experience in Wisconsin. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and addiction. Her work also addresses relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.
Susan listens first and asks practical questions next. Sessions focus on what is causing pain now and what small changes might help. She uses clear, straightforward tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
How Susan works
Her background includes long experience with complex situations such as co-occurring issues, adoption and foster care concerns, domestic violence, and substance use challenges. She also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, hospice and end-of-life needs, and gender identity matters. Susan blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques.
That means she creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space and offers concrete, skills-based steps when they help. She adapts her approach to each person's history and goals rather than following a single formula. People working with Susan can expect a steady focus on practical coping strategies, clearer patterns in thoughts and behavior, and realistic homework to practice new skills.
Her style is calm, direct, and compassionate, aiming to help people regain stability and move toward meaningful change.

Online support options
How Susan’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and responding to their needs. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through grief, identity questions, or family of origin issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, addiction triggers, anger, and building better coping habits.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Susan will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, or a way to maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
