About Sue
Sue Herring brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work as a licensed counselor. She is licensed as an LPC in South Carolina and holds LMHC credentialing. Sue frames therapy around each person's strengths and life story, and she guides clients through practical steps toward change.
Sue began her professional life in the fine arts and later worked in the restaurant industry. In her forties she returned to school and earned a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University.
Background and approach
Those life shifts shape how she understands career, parenting, and midlife transitions. Her practice focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. She also helps people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship concerns.
Sue works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and parenting challenges. Sue uses straightforward methods that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused thinking, solution-focused planning, and trauma-focused approaches. She avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and adapts sessions to what each person needs in the moment.
Sessions can include practical skill-building, focused problem solving, and guided conversations about feelings and family history. Sue aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward a more manageable, meaningful life.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Sue often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person's story, and using their strengths to guide change. This approach helps with life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic, and low mood. These skills can include structured problem solving, behavioral experiments, and practices for better sleep and anger management.
Sue also uses emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns or strong emotions are central. That work helps people understand attachment and respond to emotional pain with clearer communication and repair strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose techniques that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative and may mix short-term solutions with deeper emotional work as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial expressions and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing support, and easy scheduling during busy weeks.
