Sue Herring, LPC, LMHC

Sue Herring is a licensed counselor with 27 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and practices in South Carolina as an LPC and LMHC. Sue centers her work on helping people move through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them use their strengths to make changes. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and developing coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Sue draws on several approaches when planning care, including client-centered methods that follow the client's lead and cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and actions. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to map relationship patterns and trauma-focused practices when trauma needs careful attention. Before counseling, she worked in the restaurant industry and studied fine arts. She returned to school later in life, earned a BA in Psychology from Florida State University, and completed an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. That varied background informs a pragmatic and flexible approach to therapy. People who seek Sue's help often want clear tools and steady support during change. She aims to help with parenting stress, family and relationship tensions, grief, sleep and eating struggles, and the emotional aftermath of abuse. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Sue’s Approaches Work Online

Sue blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to meet people where they are. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and focuses on the person's goals and values. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teach concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood, and day-to-day coping. She also uses emotionally focused ideas when relationship patterns are involved. That approach helps identify interaction cycles and creates space to shift how people respond to one another. For trauma-related concerns, trauma-focused methods are used to prioritize safety and gradual processing when appropriate. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sue will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and may change as therapy progresses. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep continuity of care during transitions and make it simpler to balance therapy with parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
