About Sue
Sue Herring is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) licensed in South Carolina and Florida with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with anger, forgiveness, and relationships, and she lists family of origin issues among her focuses.
Sue describes clients as the experts on their own stories and draws on their strengths in sessions. She values straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions typically involve listening, noticing patterns that are causing difficulty, and trying small changes to see what helps.
Her background includes a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Before counseling, she spent years in the restaurant industry after studying fine arts. Those experiences influence her down-to-earth approach to problems and life transitions.
In practice she uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work. That combination lets her adapt to the needs of the person in front of her rather than follow one fixed method.
Sue works in ways that attend to emotional patterns tied to upbringing, communication problems, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. People who want clear conversation about family patterns, grief, or anxiety may find her practical style a fit.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone wants space to tell their story and to have a therapist reflect what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete experiments and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional responses in relationships and helps people name and shift patterns that keep them stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about their goals and try different techniques to see what fits. That collaborative process means approaches can be combined or adjusted based on needs and preferences rather than fixed from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools from CBT or solution-focused work between sessions, such as brief exercises or tracking habits, to reinforce what is practiced in conversation.
