Sue Frazier-Bear , LPC

Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical work. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. She is affirming of LGBT clients and works with a wide range of concerns including parenting and career stress.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in individual counseling. Sessions often include mindfulness and breathing exercises to reduce stress. She combines insight-oriented approaches with hands-on coping skills so clients can try things between sessions.

With two decades of practice, she has worked alongside psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors. She has also supervised trainees who were learning to become counselors. That mix of collaboration and teaching shapes how she talks through problems and plans treatment.

Sue draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems ideas to help people clarify values and parts of themselves that feel stuck. These approaches are used in accessible, paced ways for each person.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Tennessee. Therapy is provided individually, focused on helping a person understand what is happening and build practical ways to cope. People often work on emotional regulation, self-compassion, and rebuilding after difficult events.

How Sue’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice what matters and commit to small actions that align with their values. In practice this looks like clarifying values, practicing acceptance of difficult thoughts, and choosing steps that build a meaningful life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. These exercises can be used during a session and practiced between meetings to manage anxiety and stress more effectively.

Sue also uses psychodynamic ideas to identify patterns that repeat and cause pain. Talking through these patterns can help people make different choices and feel less stuck over time.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, try methods, and adjust as progress is tracked. That process helps match techniques to what actually helps the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from another location. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and fit into different schedules and needs.
