About Sue
Sue (Suzanne) Trezevant meets people where they are and helps them work through common and painful concerns. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, and low self-esteem. She also helps with career questions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Sue describes a client-centered, strengths-based way of working. Sessions focus on listening, identifying resources, and finding practical steps that feel achievable.
Background and approach
Conversations move at the client’s pace and center the person’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Sue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Illinois. She brings three years of documented experience in this online work and additional background addressing adoption and foster care, domestic violence, family of origin concerns, and communication problems.
In sessions Sue helps people sort through divorce and separation issues, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose. She draws on trauma-focused approaches when past harm keeps showing up in daily life. The aim is to reduce the hold of painful memories and improve day-to-day coping.
Therapy with Sue often includes practical communication skills and strategies to manage strong emotions. She supports clearer boundaries, safer interactions, and healthier ways of connecting. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.
How client-centered and trauma-focused care works online
Sue uses client-centered therapy to follow the person’s lead, listen closely, and help set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to name priorities, try small changes, and build confidence over time.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past harm affects daily life. That approach focuses on understanding how upsetting events continue to influence thoughts, feelings, and reactions, and on developing ways to reduce that impact and improve coping.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how the work is going and what the client wants. Together they decide which methods fit the concerns and personal preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for quick check-ins or ongoing written support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
