About Sue

Sue Daniel is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 30 years of experience. She works with grief, caregiving stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career changes, and guilt and shame.

She began her career after earning a Master in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University and later completed a second master’s degree focused on hospice education and bereavement at Madonna University. Early work included nursing home care and care management through an Area Agency on Aging. This led to roles in hospice, home care, senior housing, and elder law settings.

Those experiences shaped how she supports people facing aging, serious illness, and end-of-life matters. She offers counseling and education to help people understand practical steps and emotional responses that come with caregiving, cancer, hospice, and bereavement.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on listening, naming feelings, and practicing small changes that can ease daily stress. She uses those methods to help people deal with isolation, midlife challenges, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, and emptiness.

Sue uses a multi-theory approach rather than a single fixed model. She aims to work collaboratively, adjusting what she does to match a person’s situation and goals. Messaging is typically checked several times a day Monday through Friday and she asks for patience when replies take a bit longer.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to work on, which can be useful when guilt or shame feels overwhelming.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and shifting the emotional patterns that keep people stuck. It is practical for relationship stress, attachment concerns, and strong feelings tied to loss or past hurts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session pacing, homework, and skills practice.

The biography does not specify particular online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it easier to include mindfulness exercises or emotion-focused tasks between meetings to reinforce change without requiring extra travel.
