Sue Herring

Sue Herring is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of experience. She practices in South Carolina and focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She meets people where they are and supports them as they take steps toward change.

She began her career after studying Fine Arts and working in the restaurant industry. In her forties she returned to school, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. That life shift shaped her belief that change is possible at many stages of life.

Sue emphasizes that each person knows their own story. She aims to draw out strengths and use them to manage stress, anxiety, and anger. She also helps people facing grief, trauma, relationship strain, and major life transitions.

Her practice uses a range of approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, emotionally-focused ideas, solution-focused brief work, and trauma-focused techniques. Sessions focus on clear steps, practical tools, and building coping skills rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

People who come to Sue can expect a supportive, down-to-earth style. She invites collaboration and frames therapy as a process of exploring options and trying what fits. Her background in varied careers and many years of practice inform a flexible, respectful approach to care.

Approaches that shape online work and how they help

Client-centered work puts the person's own goals and ideas first. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client test ways to solve problems using their existing strengths. This approach can help with motivation, self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve sleep and mood. Clients learn concrete skills they can use between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and then try new ways of responding. It can be useful for improving how a person connects with others and for working through painful emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, makes it easier to keep appointments, and allows focused check-ins during short breaks. Online sessions can also reduce travel time and let the therapist assign brief practice tasks that suit everyday life. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to practical goals so therapy can fit around family, work, and other responsibilities.
