Sue Frazier-Bear, LPC

Sue Frazier-Bear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and other life transitions. Sessions are described as grounded in dignity and respect, with practical steps to help people manage pressing problems.

Sue says she uses several clinical lenses rather than one fixed method. She often draws on psychodynamic ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns that keep causing trouble. She also uses approaches that focus on values and acceptance when frustration or stubborn, recurring feelings get in the way of daily life.

Her background includes work in education and collaboration with psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors. She has supervised trainees preparing to become counselors and continues to study counseling methods over time. This mix of teaching, clinical practice, and collaboration shapes how she structures sessions and sets goals.

In practical terms Sue uses interventions such as guided relaxation, breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques alongside conversational therapy. She has experience addressing issues connected to abuse, substance concerns, adoption and foster care, aging, neurodevelopmental differences, and end-of-life matters. She identifies as affirming of all and notes membership in the Self-Compassion Community of Kristin Neff.

Sue prefers individual counseling and says much of her work involves helping people reframe difficult experiences and develop manageable routines. People who want a respectful, steady approach to anger, anxiety, or life changes may find her style direct and experienced.
