About Susan
Susan Wildemann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 33 years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship stress, grief, trauma, and other life adjustments. Her practice also includes work with individuals who have intellectual disabilities and with caregiver and chronic illness concerns.
Susan uses straightforward, practical conversation to identify what is most pressing. She draws on several methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms and habits. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, offers observations, and suggests small, doable steps between meetings.
In sessions Susan also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that affect current reactions. Solution-focused tools help keep work oriented toward immediate problems and next steps. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past injury or abuse is part of what a person brings.
People see her for a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term work on relationships or recurring struggles. She pays attention to communication problems, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress as part of the overall picture. Chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress are also areas she addresses.
Susan frames therapy as practical work. She and the client set goals, track progress, and adjust methods as needed. Her office is in New York and she conducts sessions in English.
BHow sessions work
How Susan’s approaches translate to online care
Online sessions can use cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns and then practice new ways of coping. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing day-to-day stress by teaching concrete skills and behavioral experiments.Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and sensations without immediately reacting, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship and emotional patterns rooted in past experience to understand how those patterns affect present choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will talk with each person about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful. She frames sessions as problem-solving plus reflection so the client and therapist can settle on workable tools together.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work, medical appointments, or caregiving. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth is limited or a video meeting for a deeper conversation.
