Sue Herring, LPC, LMHC

Sue Herring is a licensed counselor with 27 years of clinical experience. She holds a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Sue practices in South Carolina and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. She encourages people to use their own strengths as they work toward change.

Before counseling, Sue studied Fine Arts and spent years in the restaurant business. She returned to school in her forties to follow a different path. That life shift shapes how she supports people facing transitions and midlife questions.

Sue leans on approaches that help people identify unhelpful thoughts, strengthen emotional bonds, and focus on practical solutions. In sessions she helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She also addresses relationship strain, parenting concerns, ADHD challenges, and issues around identity and discrimination.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Sue respects each person’s story and works with clients to set clear, attainable goals. She helps people practice new skills between meetings and track small changes over time.

Her background in art and business adds a practical, creative angle to therapy. People often find this useful when they face career shifts, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, or the questions that come with midlife change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and relationships, helping people notice and respond differently in close connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans can change as needs evolve, and goals are revisited together throughout care.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people join from a convenient spot. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively via distance sessions, focusing on skills practice, emotional processing, and planning for everyday changes.
