About Mildred
Mildred Spann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 18 years of mental health experience to her work with individuals. She creates a calm space where people can tell their story and feel treated with respect. Mildred focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She aims to help clients leave sessions with at least one new skill to try between meetings. Her background includes long-term work addressing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, and problems with relationships and intimacy.
Background and approach
She has also helped people facing addictions, sleep and eating concerns, career stress, and major life changes. Mildred blends several approaches so each plan fits the person in front of her. In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust.
She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach grounding and stress reduction skills. Mildred describes therapy as a partnership.
She works together with people to set goals and to choose strategies that feel doable. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she encourages small, sustainable changes. People can expect straightforward guidance and tools they can use between sessions.
Mildred offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. She practices in Wisconsin and communicates in English.
How her approaches translate to online care
Mildred commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities so conversations move at the client’s pace. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to change patterns that cause distress; it can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions explore goals, habits, and what has helped before. Mildred then suggests methods to try and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what works for the client and what feels manageable.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people talk face to face and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact and quick coping reminders between scheduled sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical, usable tools.
