Sue Frazier-Bear , LPC

Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than twenty years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She has also served as a training supervisor for counselors in training, bringing insight from both supervisory and direct care roles to her therapeutic work. Having sat in the client role herself, she values the central role of trust, dignity, and respect in the counseling relationship and seeks to create a space where those qualities guide the work.

Over the years she has deepened her skills through focused collaboration with educators, psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors, while allowing her direct work with clients to shape her purpose as a counseling professional. Her approach is grounded in individual counseling, drawing on psychodynamic and compassion-focused ideas alongside interventions tailored to each person’s needs. She also integrates mindfulness practices such as guided relaxation, stress-reduction techniques, and breathing exercises to support regulation and present-moment awareness.

Sue’s experience includes supporting adults and children with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder; addressing anger and substance use concerns; and working with adults who experienced childhood abuse, including reparenting work. She also assists with relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, career concerns, ADHD, and bereavement. A member of the Self-Compassion Community of Kristin Neff, she affirms people of all backgrounds and strives to help clients find meaning and forward movement in their lives.
