About Sue
Sue Herring is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of experience. She practices in South Carolina and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Sue emphasizes practical support and encouragement for people ready to make changes in their lives.
She began her career after studying fine arts and working in the restaurant industry.
Background and approach
In her forties she returned to school, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Those years shaped her practical, people-focused approach to care. Sue uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions.
She listens to each person's story and builds on their strengths. Therapy sessions often include goal-setting, coping skills, and strategies to handle intense emotions like anger or panic. Her practice includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods.
These methods are used to address relationship concerns, parenting stress, identity and prejudice-related issues, and life transitions. Sue also works with issues like ADHD, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and recovery after sexual assault. She aims to tailor the process to each person's needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
The focus is on clear steps people can use between sessions. People who want a calm, steady guide through hard moments may find her style helpful. She frames change as a series of manageable steps and supports clients as they practice new ways of coping and communicating.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities. This approach helps people clarify goals and build on strengths to handle everyday struggles and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and problems with sleep or eating by teaching specific skills and experiments to try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and express underlying emotions and improve important relationships. It can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and repairing trust after hurt.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and suggest approaches accordingly. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual connection, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflections or quick support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on changes between sessions.
