Sue Daniel, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Sue

Sue Daniel is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as stress, grief, anxiety, and caregiver strain. She draws on 30 years of experience supporting people through big life changes. She aims to meet each person where they are and work at a pace that feels right for them.

Sue originally trained in social work with a master’s degree from Eastern Michigan University.

Background and approach

She later completed a second master’s in Hospice Education from Madonna University with a focus on bereavement. Her early work included nursing home care, care management through an Area Agency on Aging, and roles in hospice and home care. Over the years Sue has supported older adults, families, and caregivers in settings such as senior housing and elder law environments.

She has helped with practical planning and with the emotional side of illness, loss, and aging. That background informs how she talks about coping, communication, and caregiving stress. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches rather than a single theory.

She tailors methods to the individual’s needs and preferences, drawing from client-centered work, emotionally-focused techniques, and mindfulness practices. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on useful steps. Sue checks messages several times daily Monday through Friday and responds as quickly as possible.

She asks for patience at times when she may be attending to other professional responsibilities.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead and focus on what matters most to them.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and use them to change patterns in relationships and personal reactions. Delivered online, EFT techniques can help clients practice new ways of responding in day-to-day life and in family interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques remotely as she learns what helps the client most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to follow up between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum, try short check-ins, or hold longer conversations depending on what the client needs.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
