Sue Herring, LPC, LMHC

Sue Herring is a licensed counselor with 27 years of professional experience. She holds LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor credentials and practices in South Carolina. Sue helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship struggles, and major life changes.

She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions are aimed at making practical changes and offering steady support during hard times. Sue talks with people about coping skills, anger, forgiveness, and restoring a sense of balance after loss.

Sue began her career after studying fine arts and working in the restaurant industry. In her forties she returned to college, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. That varied background informs a down-to-earth style in sessions.

Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and prefers to shape the process around individual concerns and goals. Clients can expect a collaborative tone and a focus on concrete steps to feel better.

Sue helps with a wide range of issues including parenting challenges, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. She also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, dissociation, sexual assault and abuse, and adoption or foster care related stresses.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people access their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic events and teaching grounding and coping skills to lessen upsetting symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and jointly decide what seems most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer a consistent way to continue work during transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches over video or phone when those formats are available, and the focus remains on practical strategies and emotional support that fit into everyday routines.
