About SueEllen

SueEllen Hollowell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and career challenges. SueEllen aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

She encourages courage and acknowledges the effort it takes to reach out for support. In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes listening first, then collaborating on steps that fit the client’s life. She draws on practical strategies to address worries and motivation, and she helps people find clearer priorities when life feels overwhelming. SueEllen uses approaches rooted in client-focused care, cognitive-behavioral tools, and solution-focused planning.

That mix helps when the need is to change thinking patterns, set short-term goals, or build skills for managing stress. She explains techniques plainly and practices them alongside the person in session. She also addresses topics such as relationships, family concerns, grief, anger, LGBT issues, and life transitions.

Additional areas include aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, eating-related concerns, and multicultural matters. SueEllen offers sessions in English and welcomes international clients. She works through a subscription model and supports several formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Approaches for online therapy and practical change

SueEllen draws primarily from client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead, creating space for people to say what matters most and to set the pace. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to help clients set short-term, concrete goals. That approach is useful when someone wants quick, practical steps to handle a specific issue like stress at work or managing day-to-day emotions. Together these methods are chosen collaboratively, based on what the client needs and prefers, so the work stays tailored and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. The therapist and client can try different formats and adjust as needed to find what feels most helpful.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
