About Sue
Sue (Suzanne) Trezevant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois who supports people facing work and wellbeing concerns alongside family, relationship, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges. She helps with stress, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy issues, and workplace problems. Sue uses a strengths-focused, client-centered way of working to help people make practical changes and feel more able to cope.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens closely, helps name patterns that get in the way, and supports steps toward clearer communication and safer boundaries. Therapy can include talking through past hurts, identifying goals, and practicing new ways of responding to stress.
Sue holds a Master of Social Work from the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her background includes long experience with domestic violence, trauma, abuse, neglect, and grief. That history informs how she supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems.
She brings about three years of practice as an LCSW to this work and draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily life. Her style stays centered on the person’s strengths and goals, and she works at a pace the person finds manageable.
People who choose Sue often want help balancing work demands and wellbeing, repairing relationships, or coping with big life changes. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How client-centered and trauma-focused work can fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps build on existing strengths to make changes. This approach is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and deciding next steps at work or home.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurts affect current feelings and behavior. It includes careful, paced work to reduce the hold of painful memories and to build coping skills for stress, anxiety, and grief. This approach can be helpful when past abuse, neglect, or other trauma continues to shape everyday life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide how to combine methods and move at a pace that feels safe and useful.
Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it possible to continue therapy during major life changes when getting to an office would be difficult.
