Sue Frazier-Bear, LPC

Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety along with related concerns such as grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Her approach centers on listening first and helping people find steady ways to manage hard feelings. Sessions are presented with dignity and respect for each person.

She draws on several therapy styles to meet different needs, including mindfulness practices and psychodynamic perspectives. Those methods are used to help people notice patterns, learn calming skills, and understand how past experiences shape current reactions. Sue also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients identify values and take meaningful steps in daily life.

Sue has worked alongside psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors and has supervised trainees. That background informs her practical focus in session - she offers grounding exercises, breathing practices, and guided relaxation when helpful. She emphasizes hands-on tools as well as conversation.

She has experience addressing trauma, parenting and family concerns, attention difference challenges, anger, sexual and relationship issues, and end-of-life topics. Sue affirms LGBTQ people and aims to create a respectful space for diverse identities and experiences.

People who choose Sue typically want a therapist who combines reflective exploration with concrete coping skills. She works with individuals to build clearer routines, reduce overwhelm, and find more ease in everyday life.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and move toward what matters to them. It focuses on values-based action and can reduce the hold of anxiety and avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease stress and ground the body. These skills are useful for daily worry and panic. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat from the past and how they influence current relationships and feelings, which can clarify why certain situations trigger strong reactions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Together they may try mindfulness exercises one week and values-oriented behavioral steps the next, checking in about what feels useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice breathing and relaxation exercises in real time during moments of stress. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and reflective work to an online setting so therapy tools are usable in everyday life.
