Background and approach

Sue uses a client-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their life. She pays attention to strengths and builds on what already works. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life change rather than abstract labels.

Her training includes Trauma-Focused Therapy for people affected by abuse, neglect, or other traumatic events. That work centers on safety, managing strong emotions, and finding ways to move forward after painful experiences. The goal is to reduce distressing reactions and improve daily functioning.

Sue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Illinois. The LCSW credential stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and indicates clinical social work licensure in the state. She brings three years of documented experience to her current practice.

Sessions are available in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Sue frames therapy as a partnership where practical problem solving and emotional support go hand in hand.

Approaches used in online sessions and what to expect

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. The therapist offers a supportive, nonjudgmental stance and helps the client set goals and make choices that fit their life. This approach is useful for stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses responses to traumatic events through safety planning, emotion regulation, and gradual processing of difficult memories. It helps people affected by abuse, neglect, or other traumatic experiences manage strong emotions and regain a sense of control.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether a client-centered, trauma-focused, or combined approach best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow contact from home or work, and let people use the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and coping tools to each format so therapy stays practical and focused on everyday life.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
