Sue Frazier-Bear, LPC

Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of clinical experience. She creates a respectful, accepting space where people can talk about hard things and work toward clearer next steps. Her approach values dignity and trust, and she draws on both personal and professional experience to guide conversations.

She uses several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. Sue often combines psychodynamic ideas with mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and respond differently. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to clarify values and build small, manageable actions toward meaningful goals.

Sue has worked alongside psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors and has supervised trainees entering the field. That background informs how she structures sessions and supports people navigating transitions, grief, and long-term mental health concerns. She describes her practice as affirming of all identities.

Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, and stress. She also works with parenting challenges, relationship and communication problems, ADHD, and issues that arise later in life such as aging and geriatric concerns.

Sessions often include practical tools like guided relaxation, breathing exercises, and mindfulness practice. Sue also helps people understand early family influences and long-standing patterns, and she supports those coping with major life changes or end-of-life matters.

How these approaches shape online work

Sue commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts, and take small steps toward meaningful goals. Jungian ideas help uncover personal themes and symbols that shape behavior and life choices. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and improve present-moment focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that seem likely to fit. If an approach isn't helpful, adjustments are made together so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care for people managing chronic conditions, end-of-life planning, or life transitions by keeping sessions consistent even when schedules are tight.
