About Sue

Sue Herring is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She practices in South Carolina and brings a down-to-earth style to sessions. Sue focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and sleep concerns. She encourages people to use their own strengths to move forward.

Sue began her career after studying fine arts and working in the restaurant industry. She returned to school in her forties and earned a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Her background blends life experience with long clinical practice.

In sessions she emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered approach. Sue listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and try strategies that fit their life. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches to make small changes that add up.

Sue also brings trauma-informed care when past hurt affects present functioning. She works with people coping with abuse, loss, dissociation, panic, and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to family of origin, caregiver stress, adoption and blended family issues when those topics come up.

Sue describes therapy as a partnership. She helps with parenting strain, intimacy issues, eating and self-esteem concerns, and compassion fatigue. People who want straightforward guidance and practical steps for better sleep and daily coping may find her approach helpful.

How Sue’s Approaches Work Online

Sue uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s story, helping them choose their direction and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and tries small experiments to ease anxiety, sleep problems, and mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning is revisited as progress is made so approaches can be adjusted to fit changing needs.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions to happen while coordinating work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals help people adapt tools learned in sessions to everyday life so changes can stick.
