MS/LPC/MHSP/S

Welcome to the safety and acceptance of my counseling space. I bring over sixteen years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Mental Health Service Provider. I also bring experience as a training supervisor of those aspiring to be counselors. As a provider who has also sat in the client’s chair in therapy, I bring an understanding of the importance of trust in this very special relationship, which for me, is founded in the belief of dignity and respect for all. Over the years I have studied my craft extensively, and I have honed my counseling skills in concentrated work in education and with psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors. Yet, it is my work with my clients that has given me the greatest understanding of my purpose as a counseling professional and my place as a support for those clients as they address issues and work to find meaning in the journey. My skills are best employed in individual counseling, where I employ Compassion Focused Therapy.

Specific areas of focus and experience:

Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder in adults and children;

Anger issues in adults and children;

Substance Abuse issues in adults;

Adults abused as children and reparenting

Transitions and impasses in developmental stages;

Mindfulness, guided relaxation, stress reduction, and breathing exercises;

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Sue is very good at helping me reframe hurtful and erroneous beliefs about myself into more accurate statements about my worth, value, and capabilities. As a trauma survivor, I find her grasp of grief and the healing process quite therapeutic. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Very professional and genuine

Absolutely love my experience

It is remarkable to me, just how much my counseler's therapeutic interventions have ushered me through crisis healing and provided me with sound skills for long-term self-maintenance. This phase of growth is highly welcomed! Guided through ways of understanding past and lasting influences, I've entered self-discovery more confidently. With my therapist's support, I continue forward.

So far I've only had 3 sessions and feel they were very productive. I think our sessions can be what we want them to be so I dive right in. I've had therapy in the past and Sue is fantastic! Initially I was concerned with starting over with a new therapist. But I knew for my first session that I had found the right fit. Sue has a lovely calming voice. She allows me to speak while being attentive to our conversations. She truly cares about the delicate nature of my discussions. She is thoughtful yet insightful with her replies. I always feel well cared for with her. She gives me tools to keep me going in-between sessions. I couldn't ask for anything more than I'm currently receiving from Sue.

So caring and respectful. Would recommended to anyone. I feel she really caters my seasons to my issues and who I am as a person.

I really enjoy talking to her, even when I'm feeling extra down, she really helps me focus my thoughts and figure out what I'm feeling.

Sue is a fantastic help to me in my time of need she is always there to listen and offer great advice

Sue is kind, thoughtful, and insightful. Her thoughts and suggestions for reframing the internal chaos that has plagued and debilitated me for so long is truly remarkable. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

I never gave much credence to fairytales but Sue is definitely my fairy Godmother. She has helped me to see through my issues and is supportive in many ways during our sessions.

Transformation proved possible and has happened in an organic way for me while in counsel with my therapist, Sue Bear. I sought therapy due to a crisis and managed it with her wise guidance. I identify more with what happened in the aftermath of that recovery phase. My sense of self has changed. I am empowered to be fully me, now, and as I see the opportunity to discover what all that may mean.

Sue is always responsive and timely. She pays attention during every session and remembers details about our sessions. She brings up topics during sessions that I may not have thought about but it always becomes helpful in the end. I would recommend her to anyone.

I’ve been talking to Sue for almost 2 years. She has helped me work through a lot. I definitely recommend her and BetterHelp!

She really listens and supports me. She gives me advice and she let's me know what she's thinking while we are talking. I always look forward to our sessions

Sue frazier-bear has been absolutely amazing.she truely cares and listens to you.she doesn't skim the surface but digs deep to understand the underlying reasons for my destress.I recommend her to anyone needing a very professional yet easy going therapist

She is wonderful and extremely helpful :)

Sue helped me with the support & care I needed for 2 special friends. If you are looking for someone extremely qualified in any of Sue’s stated areas of focus (BPD, Depression, Trauma, Anxiety, etc) please allow her to help you. You are very important, and she will treat you as such. Sue will help you make your life better. Good luck.

Not for me.

She is wonderful. Sue gives me the tools I need and I can pull out at any moment.

In 2 words, I feel strongly that Sue is a Personable Professional - her empathic character is balanced with her effective manner of counsel. I respond well to Sue's ways - of mirroring assurance and modeling competence naturally.

She is absolutely amazing!

She is always on time to our sessions. She listens to me. She is not judgmental. She is respectful. She helps me come up with solutions to my problems.

I absolutely love my sessions with Sue, she handles my chaos extremely well and always has insight to get me grounded when I'm having a moment

Shes awesome

She’s understanding, flexible and patient. Always meets me where I am and provides the encouragement i need.

She has been absolutely amazing!!! She gives me amazing resources and helps me too see things in a different perspective

Not your typical therapist, and that's a GOOD thing. Sue eschews the trope of the stuffy, tight-lipped therapist looking down at you over their glasses in order to get right to the heart of the matter, the part that matters most: the state of the individual, whatever that state may be. Couldn't recommend her more.

Sessions are always an insightful exploration - by circling to the center of issues/concerns which are current, as well as wading within the streams' undercurrents (unconscious) which may be less apparent though present.

Sue seems to have so much insight on my issues and their causes. I like her non-biased approach.

I like speaking with Sue Frazier more than I can say about most other people.

I’ve been working with Sue for a while now. When starting therapy, I had a lot of trouble with feeling like my trauma and feelings surrounding it weren’t valid. Sue validated those feelings and has provided empathy in areas where I desperately needed it. It’s been such a relief just to have my feelings validated and be comforted.

Great therapist.

Sue is incredibly welcoming. Her approach is inviting and non-judgemental, while still asking good questions rather than waiting for you to start the conversation. She is knowledgeable and knows how to direct you to appropriate resources to continue improving your mental health. She is not overly conservative, which is important to me because acceptance of all people is vital. I am so happy I met Sue through BetterHelp. I have seen a huge difference in my life and mental health since starting sessions with her.

Ms. Sue is so genuine and straight forward I have loved having her as my therapist. She is so easy to talk to and I always feel better after our sessions.

I’m not sure what to write as a review yet but so far things are good

She gives incredible advice.

So helpful with specific real-life problems that can change every week! Opens up about herself so you feel connected and comfortable sharing your life and experiences! Thankful to have found her!

She is absolutely amazing! She is so easy to talk to and really understands.

So far Sue and Better Help have far exceeded my expectations. Sue was great at listening and offering tools and advice that were applicable to my needs. Highly recommend

Great

So far I have had two sessions with Sue Frazier-Bear, and both have been excellent! She is very kind and thoughtful. She has totally understood everything I have said so far, and has even been able to say things in a way that better describe my own feelings than I could initially. She also has given me some wonderful advice on how to handle the issues I have been facing. Some of the things things she has told me to do are things no one else has ever suggested to me, and have so far been very helpful! I look forward to more sessions with her, and I see myself being able to much better manage stress and mental health issues thanks to her.

Sue is knowledgable and professional, she is easy to talk with and offers great guidance! I would highly recommend Sue!

I have only had a couple sessions with Sue but I appreciate our time together and look forward to our sessions. I feel heard and it's been helpful to talk to someone outside of family or friends.
