Sue Daniel, LMSW

Sue Daniel is a Licensed Master Social Worker with three decades of experience helping people manage grief, stress, anxiety, and caregiving strain. She supports people facing life changes, career questions, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, and issues with self-esteem. Sue also works with those coping with aging, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the wear of long-term caregiving.

Sue takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She meets people where they are and works alongside them. Sessions aim to identify what matters most now, try practical ways to reduce distress, and build clearer next steps. She mixes conversational listening with exercises that fit each person’s needs.

Her background includes work in nursing homes, care management through an Area Agency on Aging, hospice, home care, senior housing, and elder law settings. This history informs how she talks about aging, caregiving, and end-of-life topics in real terms. She draws on that experience when supporting those facing medical or life transitions.

Sue uses Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy among other approaches. She chooses methods to match individual needs rather than sticking to one model. That flexible approach helps people find what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Sessions are conducted in English and Sue practices in Michigan. Her counseling style is calm, practical, and geared toward people who want clear, usable strategies for coping and change.

How Sue’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Sue often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person so they feel heard and understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name feelings and link them to patterns in relationships or reactions, which can reduce distress and improve how they relate to others.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and body sensations without judgment. Mindfulness exercises are brief and practical, and can be used to manage anxiety, seasonal low moods, or moments of overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies as things change so the plan stays useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue support when medical or caregiving demands make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists generally work together with clients to shape sessions that fit everyday life.
