About Sue

Sue Herring brings 27 years of clinical experience to her practice and is licensed as an LPC and LMHC in South Carolina and Florida.

Background and approach

She trained in psychology and counseling after an earlier career in the arts and the restaurant industry, earning a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. Her background informs a pragmatic, strengths-based approach that honors each person's history while focusing on practical steps forward.

Herring works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges like ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and self-esteem. She frames clients as experts on their own lives and emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and respect for individual differences rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the methods she uses, alongside client-centered and trauma-informed approaches, to tailor care to each person's needs. Clients can expect an experienced clinician who values courage and resilience and who helps translate insight into practical coping strategies.

Her practice supports people navigating life transitions, caregiving stress, family complexities, and the aftermath of loss or abuse, aiming to foster clearer communication, healthier coping, and renewed purpose.

Approaches that guide online care and how they help



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, panic, and related concerns where learning concrete coping strategies can reduce distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and listening so that clients feel understood and can explore their values and choices. This approach supports people working through life transitions, identity questions, or relationship and self-esteem issues by building on personal strengths.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust strategies as the work progresses so treatment matches evolving needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives or long-distance situations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care while accommodating varied schedules and communication styles.
