Hello everyone! I am Susan Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have almost 15 years experience working with individuals, couples and families focusing on Addictions, Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Loss, Mood Disorders, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem Issues and Trauma. I have a Master's degree in Social Work from Loyola University-Chicago. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

My goal is to assist you in developing goals to become empowered and move forward towards a positive change within your life. Through therapy we will work towards self-discovery and becoming more self-aware while challenging negative cognitions that prevent you from moving forward with healing.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Susan is GREAT! She’s very informative and has helped me tremendously. She’s not like other therapist that treat you like a numbered patient, she I feel really gets to know you and will even make small talk with you to make the sessions comforting and enjoyable. All of the ideas, goals, and so on she has sent me or talked to me about has helped me so much and I can always look back on worksheets she sends me when I need a quick reference. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a therapist. She is hands down AMAZING!

From the short time I’ve known Susan Williams, she has been very supportive in how she speaks to me and gives me a lot of beneficial advice.

Reviewed June 2022

Susan seemed like a good listener. I never got much as far as therapy goes but I did vent a lot to her. She provided some ideas and thoughts. Most were obvious to me, like make time with you and your wife with no kids, have a date night, help out around the house. Not sure what I learned, still don’t know if I’m the problem or have a problem. I do appreciate Susan’s time and thank her for reading my rants! I think the price was way to much for what I received however! Best of luck to others searching for answers or help!
