    About Mildred

    Mildred Spann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the effects of trauma. Mildred aims to make the first conversation calm and straightforward so parents and individuals can describe what’s most pressing to them.

    She creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful experiences. Mildred treats therapy as a partnership and works with clients to set goals that feel realistic. She prefers short, practical tools clients can use after sessions when challenges come up.

    Mildred draws from client-centered therapy to keep the person’s experience central. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach for people who want help finding motivation to change.

    Sessions often focus on concrete skills for managing anger, sleep, eating, or addictive behaviors. Mildred also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, career stress, and life transitions. She includes grief work when loss is part of the issue.

    She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, Mildred asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

  2. How Mildred’s approaches translate to online care

    Mildred uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum. That approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and supporting small steps toward goals. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation she uses, which prioritizes understanding the person’s experience and working at their pace to set helpful goals.

    She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT tools often include short exercises and thought records that can be practiced between sessions and fit into daily routines. These methods work well for stress, anxiety, sleep and coping with life changes.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mildred will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps people test tools, adjust plans, and choose steps that feel manageable.

    If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find virtual work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes regular appointments easier to keep. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
