About Sue

Sue Herring is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She is licensed in South Carolina and Florida and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use to manage strong emotions and everyday problems.

Sue believes clients know their own stories and brings a direct, respectful style to sessions. She helps people notice patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or shutdown, and then practices different ways of responding. Conversations are aimed at clear strategies rather than technical language.

Her background includes a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Before counseling she worked in the restaurant business after studying Fine Arts, which shaped a pragmatic approach to work and relationships. That varied history informs how she helps people deal with change and stress.

Sue uses a mix of approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused care. In practice this means talking through what happens in triggering moments, trying new responses, and checking what helps in daily life.

People looking to handle anger, repair strained relationships, or manage anxiety will find sessions that emphasize clear goals and steady skill practice. She also supports concerns around parenting, intimacy, adoption and foster care issues, and grief. To begin, clients use the site matching steps to set up an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful conversation about what matters most and wants to try changes at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and sleep problems because it teaches practical skills to shift reactions and test new behaviors.

Emotionally-Focused ideas help name and organize strong feelings so they become easier to work with. This can be helpful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, and grief.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans together based on what actually helps. That collaborative process steers sessions rather than sticking to a single method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel on a workday. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps about scheduling needs and any practical adjustments that help sessions fit into everyday life.
