Sue Daniel, LMSW

Sue Daniel is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with thirty years of experience supporting people through major life changes. She helps with grief, anxiety, stress, midlife crisis, career questions, and parenting concerns. Her manner is direct and compassionate and she aims to meet people where they are.

Sue draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single theory. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow the person's lead and build trust. She incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help identify and shift patterns in relationships and interactions. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm intense emotions and strengthen present-moment awareness.

Sue's background includes work in gerontology, hospice education, and senior services. That experience informs her work with aging, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and related family and communication issues. She has helped people cope with isolation, guilt, and the emotional strain of caregiving.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Sue focuses on concrete steps clients can take between meetings as well as understanding feelings and patterns. She also offers coaching-style support for career transitions and life changes.

Sue is based in Michigan and communicates in English. She does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Sue uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where the client's concerns guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for life transitions and self-esteem issues.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify recurring emotional patterns, especially in close relationships. EFT-style work helps people notice how reactions get stuck and learn new ways of relating that reduce conflict and loneliness.

Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions to help manage anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and intense grief. Simple attention and breathing practices are taught to reduce reactivity and make daily coping easier.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Sue will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which combination of methods feels most useful and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support ongoing work with caregiver stress, midlife concerns, and grief while keeping therapy accessible during life transitions.
