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 concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges that come with life changes. Sue also addresses issues including anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, and parenting-related strain.
Sue believes people know the important parts of their own story and brings that belief into sessions. She uses straightforward conversation to help people name their feelings and make practical changes. Sessions often look at how past hurts affect current reactions and relationships.
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 and studied fine arts. That different career path shaped how she listens and how she helps people find clearer direction.
Sue lists a range of approaches she uses, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused work, and trauma-focused techniques. She combines these approaches to match what each person needs in the moment. The result is practical, conversational work aimed at clearer thinking and steadier emotions.
People who come to Sue can expect direct talk about patterns, feelings, and realistic next steps. She also works on specific areas such as adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, dissociation, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse. Her approach centers on helping people recognize strengths and build manageable changes.
How Sue’s approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and partners identify and name core emotions and attachment patterns. In practice this means turning confusing reactions into clearer feelings and moments to try new responses. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can decide what matters most and take the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and uses small experiments and practical tools to change them.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. That choice can change over time as needs and circumstances evolve, and it is made together rather than imposed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. They also make it simpler to keep continuity of care after life events or moves. Talk with Sue about which session arrangements would best fit day-to-day life and the therapeutic goals you want to work on.
