Sue listens first and helps people sort out what matters most to them. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and builds on their strengths. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can use between meetings.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. That varied path shapes a flexible, down-to-earth style in the room.

Sue uses several methods, including cognitive behavioral approaches and emotionally-focused work, to address worries, trauma, and relationship issues.

People come to her for help with things like parenting stress, caregiving strain, identity and discrimination concerns, intimacy and relationship questions, sleep or eating struggles, and coping after loss or trauma. Her aim is to support each person in finding clearer choices and steadier daily routines.

How Sue Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Sue often draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and emotionally-focused work when helping people remotely. Cognitive behavioral work looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and it helps with anxiety, mood changes, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Emotionally-focused methods pay attention to feelings and attachment needs, which can help with intimacy, relationship strain, and processing strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works in session and between sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life responsibilities.
