Sue approaches counseling as a team effort. She combines practical methods from different schools of therapy to match what a person needs. Sessions often focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and aimed at changing patterns that cause ongoing stress.
She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and people affected by community trauma such as Hurricane Sandy. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, anger, and challenges tied to parenting and blended households. The goal is better day-to-day functioning and clearer communication at home.

Her practice emphasizes concrete skills - problem-solving, communication adjustments, and managing strong emotions. New clients are guided through a short intake and goal-setting process. Sessions concentrate on observable changes that improve daily family life.
Approaches used in online sessions
Sue draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspectives, with the therapist offering reflective listening and support to clarify choices. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to feelings and attachment patterns to improve how partners or household members connect and respond to each other.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Sue will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant to the household dynamics a person is managing.
