About Sue

Sue Daniel is an LMSW with 30 years of experience helping people navigate grief, caregiver stress, loneliness, anxiety, and life transitions. She focuses on concrete concerns like relationship strain, parenting pressure, work stress, and changes that come with aging. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel less alone and more able to cope.

She brings decades of work across nursing homes, home care, hospice, senior housing, and care management through an Area Agency on Aging. That background informs how she talks about end-of-life issues, bereavement, and the stresses caregivers face. Her clinical work grew from hands-on roles supporting older adults and their families to more counseling and education around illness and aging.

Sue uses a flexible, multi-theory approach rather than one single model. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship and attachment concerns, and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment coping skills. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer ways to handle intense feelings.

She asks questions, listens closely, and helps set doable goals. That might mean practicing grounding techniques for anxiety, mapping grief stages after a loss, or planning daily changes to reduce isolation. Her counseling aims to be collaborative and goal-oriented while respecting where someone is in their journey.

Sue works from Michigan and communicates in English. She notes a background in hospice education and gerontology and asks people to allow time for message responses during busy periods. To begin, she invites prospective clients to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Sue’s Approaches Can Work Online

Sue uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace. This approach focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client, which can help when dealing with loneliness, grief, or life transitions.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address attachment and relationship-related distress. EFT-style work helps people understand emotional patterns and improve how they connect with others, which can reduce feelings of isolation and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness skills to manage anxiety, using emotion-focused exercises for relationships, or sticking with client-centered conversations to process loss.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit counseling into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or a slower paced session when someone needs more time to process emotions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and coping tools to work well in virtual sessions.
