About Susan

Susan “Sue” Wildermann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience based in New Jersey.

Background and approach

She holds a Masters in the Behavioral Sciences and a Professional Diploma in Marriage and Family Therapy, and she blends several therapeutic methods to tailor care to each individual's situation. Sue approaches therapy as a collaborative process, treating clients as partners in setting goals and exploring change.

Her practice emphasizes practical problem solving and emotional healing across a wide range of concerns including family and relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with matters like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and recovery from domestic violence.

Known for a warm, nonjudgmental manner, Sue focuses on empowering clients to identify strengths and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. In sessions she draws from client-centered principles, cognitive and emotion-focused techniques, narrative ideas, and solution-focused strategies to help clients move toward clearer thinking and healthier interactions.

She welcomes people who want a thoughtful, strengths-based collaborator to help them navigate life transitions, repair relationships, and build coping skills.

How Sue Integrates Therapeutic Methods for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, offering empathic listening and support to help clients explore values and make choices that feel authentic. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes by emphasizing the client's voice and experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges where changing thoughts and habits can lead to clearer problem solving and improved mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional responses that affect relationships. By exploring emotional patterns, clients can improve connection, resolve conflicts, and build greater emotional awareness in close relationships.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Sue works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then recommends or combines methods that fit the situation. That collaborative stance helps ensure treatment remains practical and responsive as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals, access support during stressful periods, and engage in therapy from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area.
