Sue often focuses on improving communication, managing anger, and rebuilding intimacy in relationships. She also supports people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and aging-related transitions.
Practical problem solving and clearer boundaries are frequent themes in her work. Sessions tend to center on listening, reflecting, and testing new ways of responding. Sue encourages small, achievable changes and highlights each person's strengths.

How different approaches work online
Therapists often use Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems by telling and reshaping personal stories. This can help with identity questions, relationship patterns, and making sense of trauma. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions; it suits people who want a respectful, paced conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That makes sessions feel more relevant and helps people test what works in their daily life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets you see facial cues and practice conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing is more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
