About Sue
Sue Herring is a licensed counselor with 27 years of professional experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and brings a steady, practical approach to sessions. She emphasizes clients' strengths and respects each person's story as the starting point for change.
Sue began her career after studying fine arts and working in the restaurant business. In her forties she returned to school to study psychology and counseling.
Background and approach
That path shaped a helpful mix of life experience and clinical practice. She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep and eating. She also helps people who are navigating caregiving stress, midlife changes, and challenges tied to adoption or blended family situations.
Sue includes attention to intimacy, relationship patterns, and issues like guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens to what matters most and then tailors sessions to fit the person's needs.
Practical tools from cognitive and solution-focused approaches are offered alongside emotion-focused and trauma-informed work when helpful. Sue offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription plan that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an appointment based on therapist availability.
Therapy Approaches and Online Options
Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through strong emotions and the patterns those feelings create in relationships and self-view.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan based on what the person finds most helpful. This keeps work focused and tailored to real concerns rather than following a single model.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or screen use is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing written support that can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
