About Mildred

Mildred Spann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience in mental health care. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, anger, addictions, and sleep and eating concerns. Mildred emphasizes respect, dignity, and a nonjudgmental attitude in sessions.

She creates a calm space where people can tell their story and feel heard. Sessions aim to identify concrete steps and useful tools rather than only talking about problems. Mildred frames therapy as a partnership and works with each person to build a plan that fits their life.

Mildred uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts those methods to meet the goals a person brings to therapy. Mindfulness and CBT are often used to manage stress, sleep problems, and mood shifts.

Her work includes grief counseling and help for people dealing with life changes or unstable housing histories. The focus is practical coping skills, accessible strategies for difficult moments, and steps toward better day-to-day functioning. Mildred aims to leave people with tools they can use on their own.

She accepts clients who live in the United States and also accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English and tailored to each person’s needs. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Mildred’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions, emphasizing listening, empathy, and collaboration to set goals that matter. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through stress, grief, or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying specific behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and building practical coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mildred will discuss different methods and help choose what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made, so the plan can change over time.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not detailed in the profile. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy day. Many people find it easier to practice mindfulness exercises and homework between sessions when therapy fits into their routine.
