About Sue
Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She offers a calm, accepting presence and helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, and parenting or relationship concerns. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, focused on each person’s dignity and right to be heard.
She uses tools drawn from several therapeutic traditions to match what a person needs. That can mean breathing and mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety, or reflective work to understand long-standing patterns.
How Sue works
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past influences and internal family systems to map internal parts that feel at odds. Sue has worked alongside psychiatrists, educators, mentors, and other counselors, and she has supervised trainees entering the counseling field. That background informs a practical, experienced approach rather than a single fixed method.
She highlights skills learned from ongoing professional study and clinical practice. Sessions tend to be focused and down-to-earth. Sue helps people name what is causing pain, spot patterns, and try small, manageable changes.
She also uses relaxation and guided exercises for stress reduction when helpful. She provides services in Tennessee and communicates in English. Sue affirms people of all identities and aims to create a respectful space where concerns about career, self-esteem, ADHD, adoption and foster care, aging, first responder stress, and end-of-life issues can be addressed.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps people manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility. Mindfulness Therapy uses breathing, guided relaxation, and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining mindfulness exercises with ACT strategies or exploring deeper patterns with psychodynamic ideas when that seems helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people have a face-to-face session from wherever they are, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels distracting. Live chat and text messaging let people check in in short bursts and keep momentum between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
