Sue Herring , LPC, LMHC

Sue Herring is a licensed counselor practicing in Florida and South Carolina with 27 years of professional experience. She holds the credentials LPC and LMHC - terms that indicate she is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings decades of practice to work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, illness, grief and loss.

She supports people navigating life transitions, managing anger, and wrestling with the process of forgiveness, working from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses strengths that aid healing. Sue approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering encouragement and practical guidance to help clients take courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Before entering mental health, she studied Fine Arts and spent time in the restaurant industry. In her forties she returned to school, earning a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Sue is well trained in a range of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Matrix Reimprinting, Rapid Resolution Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and Neurofeedback. She does not endorse one-size-fits-all care and instead tailors her approach to the unique needs of each person she sees.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sue Herring

Sue Herring uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist follows their needs, helping with self-exploration and building on personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach she uses - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques to help clients understand and process emotions, improve attachment and intimacy concerns, and strengthen relationships.

Sue views finding the right approach as a collaborative part of therapy. She works with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to participate in shaping the treatment so it fits their life and values.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for Sue's practice, including flexible scheduling and easier access to regular sessions. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to engage in care from home or another convenient location, making it simpler to maintain continuity and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
