About Sue
Sue Herring is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of practice. She works with adults who bring worries about stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and loss. Sue lists young adult issues among her focus areas and helps people facing life transitions such as new jobs, moving, or changes in relationships.
She values a straightforward, person-centered way of working. Sue treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long explanations.
Sue trained for a career change after time in fine arts and the restaurant business. She earned a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Her background gives her experience across many life stages and life events.
In practice she uses approaches that include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused care. That mix is used to address specific problems such as panic attacks, grief, sleep and eating concerns, or problems with anger and self-esteem.
People who contact her are often dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, or the emotional effects of discrimination and sexual assault. Sue works in South Carolina and offers services in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify their own goals; it can help when someone is unsure what change they want or needs a steady space to talk through decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles; it is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of past traumatic events and teaches skills for managing triggers and dissociation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel useful based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Goals and techniques are revisited as the work progresses so the plan can change if something is not helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for those juggling work or school. Licensed professionals use these formats to offer consistent, scheduled time for problem-solving, skill practice, and emotional support.
