About Sue
Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She offers a calm, respectful presence and works with adults facing mood concerns, trauma histories, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career uncertainty. Sue is affirming of LGBT people and brings a broad clinical background to each session.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical support. Sessions often include breathing and mindfulness exercises, guided relaxation, and talk-based work to sort out feelings and priorities.
Background and approach
Sue uses a mix of psychodynamic ideas and compassion-focused practices to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives. Her work also draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and take manageable steps toward them. Internal Family Systems ideas are sometimes used to understand conflicting parts of the self.
These approaches are blended to fit each person rather than applied as a fixed program. Sue has also supervised counselors in training and has collaborated with psychiatrists and educators. That background informs a pragmatic approach to treatment planning and goal-setting.
She emphasizes dignity and respect in the therapeutic relationship and brings an understanding gained from both clinical practice and time as a therapy client herself. Sessions may focus on coping skills for ADHD, support after loss, managing bipolar mood swings, or processing past abuse. The emphasis is on helping people find meaning, build self-compassion, and make changes that fit their daily lives.

Online support
How Jungian, ACT, and Mindfulness Translate Online
Jungian Therapy often focuses on meaning, symbols, and inner images to help people name painful or confusing parts of their experience; online sessions can use dialogue and creative reflection to work with those themes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and then take steps that match their values, which can be practiced through exercises during video or text exchanges. Mindfulness Therapy provides simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness, and those practices can be guided in a call or sent as brief exercises by message.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints rather than following a fixed method. That means trying different strategies and adjusting based on what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera time is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue progress from wherever a person happens to be.
