About Sue
Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor with twenty years of experience. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels most urgent. She values dignity and respect and aims to build a trusting working relationship.
Sue focuses on individual counseling and uses straightforward, practical methods. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, parenting stress, career concerns, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach blends several therapeutic ways of working. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that start early in life. She uses mindfulness and guided relaxation to teach simple stress-reduction skills that can be practiced daily.
Sue also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take workable steps toward them. Internal Family Systems ideas are part of her toolbox for understanding parts of the self and reducing internal conflict. These methods are applied in clear, practical ways rather than as abstract theory.
She has worked alongside psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors and has supervised trainees. That experience informs her practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with skills and insights you can apply between meetings.
How Sue’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Sue frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, meaningful steps toward those values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing, guided relaxation, and present-moment skills. These practices help reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning and are easy to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. This collaborative process helps decide which methods to emphasize and how to adapt them for online sessions.
Online therapy with Sue can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper discussions and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth, and chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins and shorter coaching-style moments. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care.
