About Sue
Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Sue draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take committed action. Jungian ideas and psychodynamic thinking help uncover recurring life patterns and early influences. Mindfulness practices and Internal Family Systems techniques are used to calm the nervous system and to work with different parts of oneself.
Her background includes supervising trainees and collaborating with psychiatrists and other counselors. That experience influences how she plans care and how she supports people who want clear structure as well as exploration. She also teaches stress reduction tools such as guided relaxation and breathing exercises.
Sue names working with adults affected by childhood abuse and issues of reparenting as a focus, and she lists experience related to substance use, anger, and developmental transitions. She is a member of the Self-Compassion Community of Kristen Neff and affirms people of all identities.
Sessions use plain language, active listening, and practical skills while also leaving room for reflection. People who prefer a mix of skill practice and deeper exploration may find this approach helpful. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats offered.
How sessions work
How Sue uses therapy approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that match those values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These practices are used to reduce reactivity, manage strong emotions, and support calming during moments of overwhelm.
Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas aim to surface recurring patterns and early influences that shape current behavior. This can help with long-standing relationship patterns, family of origin issues, and feelings connected to abandonment or loss.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, then try techniques to see what fits. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant to daily life and parenting pressures.
Session formats and practical details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. The therapist will help plan how therapeutic tools and practices can be used between sessions to support coping at home and work.
