About Sue
Sue (Suzanne) Trezevant is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Illinois with three years of experience in clinical practice. She works with adults facing family stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, and life changes, including concerns about life purpose.
Sue uses a client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She listens for strengths and practical steps, and helps people talk through immediate problems and longer-term concerns.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, domestic violence, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin challenges. That work informs how she understands grief, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles.
In the room she aims to help clients name priorities and try small, manageable changes. Conversations can cover coping strategies for stress, processing trauma experiences, and improving communication at home or at work. She also supports people considering career direction or broader questions about life purpose.
Sue trained at the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her clinical approach draws on client-centered therapy and trauma-focused work to address both everyday pressures and traumatic experiences.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping the client identify their own goals and next steps. This approach is useful for decisions about relationships, work, and life purpose.Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses reactions to traumatic events and helps people process difficult memories and their emotional impact. It often combines careful pacing with specific strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping after trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That recommendation can change as goals shift or as certain strategies prove more or less helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it possible to meet during a work break. These practical benefits support regular contact and follow-through without promising a particular format.
