About Sue
Sue uses a client-centered style that focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. She draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurt affects current behavior and relationships. Sessions aim to clarify what the client wants to change and to build tools for handling strong emotions like anger.
Before becoming an LCSW, Sue completed graduate study at the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her background includes long-term work with people experiencing domestic violence, neglect, sexual abuse, and complex family conflict. That history informs how she talks about safety, boundaries, and communication.
Sessions typically involve exploring patterns, practicing new ways to respond to triggers, and strengthening coping skills for daily life and the workplace. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues, divorce and separation, and workplace challenges.
Sue has three years of documented experience as an LCSW in clinical practice alongside many earlier years in related roles. People who want steady, empathetic guidance for anger and trauma-related concerns may find her approach straightforward and focused.

How client-centered and trauma-focused work translates to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist asks about what feels most pressing, reflects back what she hears, and helps identify small, doable goals. It is useful for concerns like anger, relationship strain, and low self-esteem because sessions focus on the client's priorities and strengths.Trauma-focused therapy involves addressing the ways past hurt shows up now. This can include learning skills to manage strong emotions, making sense of difficult memories, and practicing safer ways to set boundaries. It is aimed at people whose current problems stem from earlier abuse, loss, or family conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try different methods, and adjust based on how the work is going and what the client prefers. That shared planning helps match techniques to specific goals and daily life needs.
Session formats and exact online options are not specified here, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication style, and pacing to work well in remote sessions while focusing on the same goals as in-person care.
