About Mildred
Mildred Spann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience in mental health care. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can tell their story and begin to make changes. Mildred emphasizes a partnership approach and focuses on practical tools clients can use after sessions end.
Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also supports people facing relationship concerns, family tensions, struggles with addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem or career questions. Mildred aims to leave clients with simple strategies they can reach for during hard moments.
Mildred’s style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first and then helps set achievable goals together with each person. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps rather than long lectures. The goal is steady progress that fits into real life.
In sessions she draws on mindfulness, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. These approaches are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and solve immediate problems.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Mildred helps clients build a toolbox of skills for coping with future stressors and life changes. Anyone considering therapy is encouraged to reach out and see if her way of working feels like a good fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mildred uses client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on each person’s needs. This approach means sessions begin with listening and reflecting so goals come from the client rather than a preset plan. It helps when someone needs time to feel heard and understood.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and for learning small experiments that change how problems feel day to day.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Mildred will discuss different ways of approaching a concern and pick techniques that match the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor work to real-life needs and keeps the focus on useful skills.
