About Sue

Sue Herring is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing with 27 years of experience. She is licensed in South Carolina and Florida and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship issues, and parenting challenges. Sue draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to support people facing life changes and difficult emotions.

She began her career in the arts and later worked in the restaurant industry. In her forties she returned to school, earning a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Those steps shaped a practical outlook on problem solving and personal change.

Sue uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s perspective and strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Her work includes trauma-focused approaches when past events affect daily life.

In sessions she helps people talk through relationship tensions, parenting stress, blended family concerns, and caregiving strain. She also supports people dealing with grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. The focus is on clear steps and small changes that fit daily life.

People can expect straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sue asks questions, listens, and offers techniques that match a person’s goals. To begin, readers are prompted to use the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session.

Her practice language is English and she does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Sue’s approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and strengths. Sessions using this approach involve listening, reflecting, and helping the client identify what matters most to them. It is helpful for relationship tension, parenting stress, and figuring out next steps in a new household.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood over time.

Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past traumatic events and aims to reduce their impact on daily life. This work typically uses structured strategies to process memories and build coping skills for triggers and flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and options that do not require video when bandwidth or camera use is an issue.
