About Sue

Sue Herring is a licensed counselor with 27 years of experience who holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices in South Carolina.

Background and approach

She draws on a long professional journey that began in the arts and hospitality industry before she returned to school to study psychology and counseling, earning a BA from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University.

Her background shapes a collaborative, strengths-based stance that recognizes each person as the expert in their own story. Sue works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and many life transitions.

She favors personalized care over one-size-fits-all solutions and uses evidence-informed methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor support to each client's needs. Sue emphasizes empowerment and practical steps toward change while offering guidance and encouragement throughout the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, offering a respectful, empathetic space where goals and pace are guided by the individual; it works well for people seeking validation, personal insight, and support during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impacts of traumatic experiences through targeted interventions that help people process distressing memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Sue is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and make it easier to fit care into daily life. These formats allow flexible scheduling, continuity of support across locations within her practice region, and options for different communication preferences so clients can engage in ways that feel most comfortable to them.
