Welcome to the safety and acceptance of my counseling space. I bring over twenty 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.

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 rely on a variety of theories including psycho-dynamic and compassion-focused. I employ a variety of interventions from
these two theories, and other theories that work with individual clients.

Written on Aug 22, 2025 after therapy with Sue for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and parenting issues
I couldn't ask for a better therapist. Sue takes a personal interest in me. It doesn't feel clinical. It's a real genuine care that she effortlessly has. Her keen listening skills allows for a genuine exchange between us. I always leave feeling heard and understood by her. Each session leaves me feeling lighter and ready to take on whatever new challenges the week may bring. I appreciate that Sue is a mature person. Her years have afforded her lived experience which she easily draws from. Her background and education adds to her expansive knowledge. I hope you get a chance to work with Sue like I have and enjoy the many benefits it brings.
Written on May 06, 2025 after therapy with Sue for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse, and eating disorders
I am very impressed with Sue Frazier-Bear. I have had two sessions with her, and connected with her from the outset. I look forward to working with her as she helps me in my grief journey. I highly recommend her. She is compassionate, empathetic, a good listener and very knowledgeable. I was always skeptical of online therapy, but my experience with Ms. Bear has definitely made me a convert. She is the best.
Written on Jan 30, 2025 after therapy with Sue for 2 weeks on issues concerning grief
I've been seeing Dr. Frazier- Bear for about 6 months, and I can honestly say that my experience has been life-changing. From the very first session, she made me feel heard, understood, and supported in a way that was both comforting and empowering.
She has an innate ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space, allowing me to explore even the most difficult emotions with openness and honesty. She has an incredible ability to ask the right questions, offer gentle yet insightful feedback, and guide me toward deeper self-awareness. I’ve learned so much about myself and gained tools to cope with challenges in ways I never thought possible.
She blends professional expertise with a genuine sense of empathy, making each session feel personal and meaningful. After going through a TRUE existential crisis when finding out I was illegaly adopted- and the subsequent emotional and psychological ripples that spread from that and being raised by a narcissist adoptive mother, I can say Dr. Frazier-Bear has been the support I needed and will continue to need as I navigate this experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Written on May 23, 2022 after therapy with Sue for 4 months on issues concerning bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes
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.

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.

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.
