About Sue
Sue Herring is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She practices in South Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges around relationships and parenting.
Sue draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods when a person wants to look at feelings and relationship patterns. Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable changes.
Sue began her professional life in the fine arts and then worked in the restaurant business. She returned to college in her forties and earned a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Those life changes shape how she works with people now.
She helps people who are coping with major life changes, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family challenges. Other areas she addresses include panic, sleep and eating concerns, dissociation, and sexual assault and abuse.
Her style centers on clear goals and practical steps. Sue helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and then tests new ways of thinking and behaving. She encourages small experiments that fit day-to-day life.

How Sue blends practical approaches for online work
Sue commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person can clarify their own goals and values.She also brings elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or strong emotions are central. EFT helps people notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of responding to improve closeness and reduce conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT experiments, using emotion-focused exercises, or combining techniques over time.
The practice uses an online sign-up flow where prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed.
