About Sue-Jacqueline
Sue-Jacqueline Spencer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 17 years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, and major life changes. She explains concerns plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
She draws on client-centered methods to listen first and help people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going and to test small changes that can reduce symptoms. Mindfulness techniques are included to help with grounding and emotional regulation.
In session she works at a steady, practical pace. Conversations emphasize communication skills, managing guilt or shame, and building everyday coping strategies. She uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and make changes that fit their lives.
Sue-Jacqueline often addresses attachment concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress alongside core areas such as body image and relationship communication problems. She also supports people facing concerns linked to aging, blended family dynamics, and co-morbid conditions.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on what clients can do next. People are invited to set clear goals and try techniques between sessions. She practices in Florida and provides services in English.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. Online sessions can follow the same pattern: the therapist reflects concerns, helps you prioritize goals, and checks in about what is most useful. This approach helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavioral changes. In online sessions clients often learn practical exercises, track patterns between meetings, and try brief experiments to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These practices can be guided in session and assigned as short daily exercises to build steady coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may include blending client-centered listening with CBT tools and mindfulness practice.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and allow for practices to be reviewed between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so they apply to everyday routines and responsibilities.
