Sue Daniel, LMSW

LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with 30 years of experience, Sue Daniel focuses on grief, caregiver stress, aging and bereavement, and related life changes. She practices in Michigan and works with people facing loss, chronic illness, midlife transitions, and stress tied to caregiving and cancer. Sessions draw on client-centered work, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques.

Sue uses clear, practical conversation. She listens to what matters to the client first. Then she helps people name what is happening, sort priorities, and find small changes that make daily life easier.

Her background began in long-term care and care management, including nursing homes and Area Agency on Aging services. She later moved into hospice, home care, senior housing, and elder law settings. Those roles informed her understanding of aging, end-of-life concerns, and family caregiving dynamics.

In session she combines different approaches rather than relying on a single theory. That means she might use emotionally-focused work to address relationship stress, client-centered listening to clarify goals, and mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety or help with grief. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where practical steps are developed together.

Sue has a master’s degree in social work and additional training in hospice education with a focus on bereavement. She draws on three decades of work supporting older adults, caregivers, and people navigating loss and major life changes. Her practice also covers career, self-esteem, parenting concerns, social anxiety, and seasonal mood difficulties.
