About Sue
Sue Herring is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of clinical experience. She holds a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and a MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Sue is licensed as an LPC in South Carolina and as an LMHC in Florida.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to use their own strengths as the foundation for change. Sue helps people manage stress and anxiety and cope with life changes.
Background and approach
She offers support for trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and issues around forgiveness. She also works with concerns such as depression, low self-esteem, sleeping and eating difficulties, and intimacy-related worries. ADHD is listed among her focus areas.
Her path to counseling began outside of mental health. Sue studied the fine arts and worked in the restaurant industry before returning to college in her forties. That life experience shaped a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
She values each person’s unique story and avoids one-size-fits-all approaches. In sessions she draws on several established methods, including cognitive-behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches, along with solution-focused and trauma-informed techniques. The work is aimed at concrete steps people can try between sessions.
Sue emphasizes clear goals, small experiments, and building usable coping skills. <br
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and emphasizes empathy, listening, and working from the client’s priorities. It helps when someone needs understanding and support to clarify goals and make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it offers clear tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions from there in a collaborative way. That may mean focusing on emotion processing in one phase and trying solution-focused experiments in another.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can fit better into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, home life, or a hectic schedule while keeping the focus on progress and workable steps.
