About Mildred
Mildred Spann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, grief, relationship strain, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem and career changes. She accepts clients who live outside the U.S. and works in English.
Mildred focuses on practical skills you can use right away. She treats therapy as a partnership and helps clients set clear goals. In sessions she listens, asks straightforward questions, and helps people identify patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and reactions and then practice different responses. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities. Solution-focused and motivational strategies are used when the task is to set short-term, achievable goals.
When anger is the main issue, Mildred helps clients spot triggers and develop concrete coping steps. She teaches breathing and mindfulness skills alongside thought-challenging and practical problem-solving. The aim is to build a set of strategies that are easy to reach for during a flare-up.
Mildred also supports people facing grief and trauma by moving at a measured pace and focusing on present coping skills. Sessions often include role practice, brief behavioral experiments, and planning for next steps. She encourages clients to leave with tools they can use between appointments.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mildred uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy as core tools. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and support clearer choices.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and shaping the plan to what matters to the client. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In practice, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow sessions without travel time. This can help someone keep momentum while learning breathing, thought-reframing, and small behavioral steps to manage anger and stress.
