About Sue
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 10 years of clinical experience, Sue Ann O'Brien focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. She frames clients as experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths to address current struggles. Sessions also address communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, panic attacks, and women's issues.
Sue Ann approaches work in a practical way. She listens to what is happening now and helps people identify steps they can try between sessions. That may include practicing calmer breathing, testing unhelpful thoughts, or trying small behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. She describes the process as collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Her decade of experience is used to spot patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact so they can make different choices. For relationship concerns she focuses on communication habits and clearer expression of needs.
For mood and anxiety symptoms she uses techniques that break intense reactions into manageable parts. With panic symptoms she helps people learn to respond differently to sudden fear and racing thoughts. For life transitions and coaching work she concentrates on practical planning and decision points.
Sue Ann works in English and is licensed in Arizona as an LPC. To get started she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Many therapists work with evidence-based techniques that break problems into clear parts and teach practical skills. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. These techniques help when worry or negative thinking keeps people stuck.Behavioral strategies target what people do day to day. They include small action steps that reduce avoidance, improve mood, or change interaction patterns in relationships. For panic symptoms this can mean practicing responses to reduce intensity of attacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also use online meetings to coach through communication practice or to guide breathing and grounding exercises during moments of high anxiety.
