Sue (Suzanne) Trezevant

Sue (Suzanne) Trezevant offers help for people facing family stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges with intimacy and self-esteem. She supports those dealing with anger, career and workplace concerns, depression, and major life changes. Sue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Illinois and speaks English.

Sue uses a straightforward, client-centered approach. She focuses on strengths people already have and helps them build on those skills. Sessions look at current problems and practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Her work includes responding to trauma and abuse with Trauma-Focused Therapy methods when appropriate. That means addressing the ways past harm shows up now and helping people reduce its hold on daily life. She also relies on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the pace and focus guided by the person's needs and goals.

Sue brings three years of experience in a clinical role as an LCSW in Illinois. Her background includes supporting people through domestic violence, neglect, sexual abuse, and grief, and helping with communication problems, adoption- and foster-related concerns, and divorce or separation.

In sessions she aims to create a calm, practical space to talk through painful memories, set realistic goals, and try new ways of handling stress. People are invited to start where they feel comfortable and to shape the work around what matters to them.

How Trauma-Focused and Client-Centered Work Translate to Online Therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impact of past harm and on reducing its effects in everyday life. In plain terms this can mean talking through difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable, learning skills to calm intense reactions, and practicing new ways of responding to triggers.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and preferences first. The therapist listens closely, follows the pace the person sets, and helps them decide what changes to try. This approach helps people feel understood and in control of the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they check in and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

Session formats were not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and giving options for less intensive contact on days that are crowded. These practical benefits help people maintain regular contact with a licensed professional while they work toward their goals.
