Susan Williams, LCSW

Susan Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping people facing relationship strain, jealousy, anxiety, and life transitions. She works with adults who want clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more steady mood and self-worth. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.

Susan combines several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment ideas to understand how early relationships shape current doubts and jealousy. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. She also brings client-centered and mindfulness tools to slow things down and tune into feelings.

Sessions focus on clear goals and workable steps. Clients can expect conversations that identify patterns, practice new behaviors, and try out different ways of relating. Susan pays attention to how past hurts affect present choices and helps people test new, healthier responses.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in social work from Loyola University Chicago and 20 years in clinical settings across Wisconsin. She holds the LCSW credential and has substantial experience with addiction, trauma, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and family-of-origin issues.

Susan offers services in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients who want to explore jealousy, attachment worries, or communication problems are encouraged to complete the platform’s matching steps to begin scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early bonds affect trust, jealousy and closeness today. Sessions use conversation and reflection to notice patterns and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to help manage intense emotions and improve focus.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the specific problems you bring. Together you can choose a mix of methods and adjust them as you learn what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a workday. For some people, not being on camera can lower stress, while video can help with reading nonverbal cues. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions suit your routine and goals.
