About Sue

Sue Daniel is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps people facing grief, anxiety, stress, depression, and caregiving strain. She offers steady support for parenting and relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and major life transitions. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at making small changes that make daily life easier.

She draws on three decades of experience working with older adults, hospice settings, and community care. That background gives her a long view on aging, end-of-life concerns, cancer care, and the worries that come with caregiving.

Background and approach

She has worked in nursing homes, home care, senior housing, and care management through an Area Agency on Aging. In sessions she focuses on listening first and then building goals together. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person.

She also brings emotionally focused ideas to help people sort through tough feelings and rebuild connection. Mindfulness strategies are woven into sessions to help with overwhelming anxiety, social phobia, seasonal mood shifts, and caregiving stress. These are presented as practical exercises to try between meetings.

She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Sue trained at Eastern Michigan University, earning a Master in Social Work, and later completed a master’s in hospice education at Madonna University focused on bereavement. She works from Michigan and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, she asks people to describe what they need and then matches the pace and tools to their goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities. The therapist helps people name what matters and then shapes sessions around those goals, which can help with anxiety, grief, and caregiving stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns they create. This approach can be useful when relationship strains, shame, or deep sadness make it hard to move forward.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and manage social anxiety or seasonal mood changes. These practices are offered as short exercises that can be used between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try practices, adjust strategies, and decide what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, coaching-style support, and hands-on follow up between meetings.
