About Susan
Susan Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who helps people tackle money-related stress alongside many other life challenges. She focuses on practical, everyday steps so clients can feel less overwhelmed and start moving forward. Her tone is direct and supportive, aiming to help people set realistic goals and follow through with them.
Susan draws on two decades of practice to guide conversations about relationships, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma. She uses straightforward methods to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build skills that make daily life easier. Sessions emphasize self-discovery and clearer decision making rather than jargon or long theory talks.
Her approach is collaborative. She works with each person to define small, achievable goals. Then she helps people notice patterns that get in the way and try different behaviors to see what works. This often includes practicing new ways of handling conflict, stress, and financial strain.
Susan’s training includes a Master’s degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and she holds the LCSW credential. She has extensive experience helping people with relationship issues, attachment concerns, parenting stress, and co-occurring problems like substance use and mood disorders.
People who choose her work with someone who values clear steps, steady support, and compassion. If money worries are tied to anxiety, relationship strain, or sleep and eating problems, she brings practical tools and steady guidance to help people regain control.
How Susan’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Susan uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people notice how they connect with others and try new ways of relating that reduce repeat conflict.She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides clear, step-by-step tools for anxiety, depression, and stress that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
