About Sue

Sue Lassin is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 27 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. She uses straightforward, empathic conversation to help clients build confidence and cope with life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can take between meetings.

Sue aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop useful behavior changes.

Background and approach

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and commit to actions that matter. Motivational interviewing is used when motivation is low or people feel stuck trying to change habits. Parents often come to Sue with questions about setting limits, blended family stress, or handling disruptive behavior.

She helps parents break problems into small, manageable tasks and practices they can try at home. When trauma, grief, or addiction are present, she works at a pace the client prefers and addresses safety and coping first. Sue emphasizes practical tools like mindfulness exercises, short behavioral experiments, and clear communication strategies.

She explains techniques in everyday language and helps clients adapt them to family life and daily routines. Sessions are offered by video, phone, chat, and messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Sue supports clients from Georgia and also accepts international clients who prefer to work in English.

How Sue Uses Practical Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, connect with personal values, and take small steps toward what matters. It can be useful for people facing parenting stress, life changes, or persistent anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that lead to distress and testing new behaviors to change outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation work. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost motivation when someone feels stuck with habits like substance use or behavior change and prefers a gentle, nonconfrontational style.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sue treats therapy as a collaboration and will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace, and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging let people send short updates, ask quick questions, or do brief check-ins between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and different time zones.
