Sue Daniel, LMSW

Sue Daniel is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on grief, caregiver stress, and life transitions. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and work-related stress. Sue also supports those facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related challenges, end-of-life concerns, and the emotional toll of caregiving.

Sue uses a straightforward, flexible style in sessions. She listens first, then adapts her approach to what each person needs. Her background includes long experience in hospice, home care, senior housing, and care management for older adults. This experience shapes how she talks about loss, role changes, and the practical side of caregiving.

Sessions mix conversational, client-centered therapy with emotionally focused work and mindfulness practices. That can mean naming emotions, practicing grounding skills, or trying new ways to talk with a loved one. Sue aims to keep work practical so people leave with one or two clear steps to try between meetings.

She has about 30 years of experience working with older adults and people connected to elder care. Her training includes a Master in Social Work and additional study in hospice bereavement and elder care. Sue emphasizes patience and steady support when people face chronic stress or major life changes.

To begin, Sue asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. She checks messages during weekdays and replies as she can.

How Sue blends approaches for online care

Sue uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and immediate concerns. This means sessions begin with listening and follow the client's pace to set goals and next steps.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help identify and name strong emotions and improve how people connect during relationship stress or caregiving conversations. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple practices that reduce overwhelm and calm the body during high-stress moments.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Sue will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and try different techniques until a good fit emerges. Treatment plans and tools are adjusted to match needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to one method.

If you are considering online work, confirm available session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy caregiving schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Sue will discuss practical scheduling and format questions when you begin the matching process.
