Sue Herring , LPC, LMHC

Sue Herring is a licensed counselor with 27 years of professional experience, working across Florida and South Carolina. She holds credentials as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - and an LMHC - licensed mental health counselor - and brings a breadth of clinical training to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and a wide range of life transitions.

Sue believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that strengths already exist to support meaningful change. Her approach emphasizes empowerment and collaboration, helping clients explore forgiveness, manage anger, navigate parenting and blended family dynamics, and address issues such as intimacy, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also has a focus on adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, family-of-origin patterns, dissociation, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

Her path to counseling was unconventional - after studying the Fine Arts and working in the restaurant industry, she returned to college in her forties, earning a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Sue is trained in multiple therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Matrix Reimprinting, Rapid Resolution Therapy, NET, and neurofeedback. She does not favor a one-size-fits-all model and adapts interventions to meet each individual or family where they are, with respect for their unique needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Sue integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused techniques into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and supported as they explore goals and personal values. CBT offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused work addresses the impacts of traumatic experiences through targeted interventions that aim to decrease trauma-related reactions and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sue works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow work to continue despite busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints, while preserving the collaborative, evidence-informed nature of therapy led by licensed professionals and therapists.
