About Sue-Jacqueline
Sue-Jacqueline Spencer is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to how family roles and early relationships still affect daily life. Conversations include practical skills for communication and managing anxiety. Sessions often look at patterns that began in childhood and how they play out now.
She uses a mix of methods in sessions. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work keeps the conversation grounded in what the person brings. Narrative and mindfulness elements are used to change how people talk about themselves and to build present-moment coping skills.
Expect to work on clear, doable steps between meetings. This can include practicing different ways to speak up, small experiments to reduce avoidance, or simple mindfulness exercises to lessen reactivity. The therapist pays attention to how family of origin patterns shape expectations and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps someone feel understood and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation; it can be helpful for anxiety and coping with upsetting memories.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which approaches to emphasize and adjust them as progress is observed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person's day-to-day life.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they use exercises, behavioral experiments, and short practices that can be done between meetings. Ask about session length and format when you begin the matching process so arrangements suit your routine.
