About Sue

Sue Daniel is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker with 30 years of experience based in Michigan. She works with people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career issues, and social anxiety and phobia. She also supports those facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.

Sue trained in social work and has long experience in elder care settings. Early in her career she worked in nursing homes and later in care management through an Area Agency on Aging. She then moved into hospice and home care, and has worked in senior housing and with elder law matters. That background informs how she supports people facing major life transitions and complicated health-related stress.

In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy. She combines approaches rather than following a single theory and focuses on practical ways to cope with strong emotions and difficult conversations. Sessions tend to focus on what the person is experiencing now and on small steps they can try between meetings.

Sue communicates regularly Monday through Friday and checks messages a few times a day. She asks people to be patient when responses take a bit longer because other professional responsibilities may require attention. Detailed scheduling and session steps are handled through the site process.

Her practice is informed by long experience with bereavement, caregiver issues, and older adults, and she aims to help people manage stress, loss, and difficult relationships with clear, calm guidance.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It involves nonjudgmental support and helps people clarify their own priorities and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and respond to strong emotions in safer ways. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase moment-to-moment awareness.

Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will adjust methods together as sessions progress. That collaborative planning helps connect practical steps to daily life and to what the person is ready to try.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-in meetings when schedules are tight. They also allow people to continue work on grief, caregiver stress, social anxiety and phobia, and relationship patterns without rearranging their whole day.
