Sue Daniel, LMSW

Sue Daniel is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 30 years of experience in aging, hospice, and family support. She earned a Master of Social Work from Eastern Michigan University in 2002 and completed a second master degree in Hospice Education from Madonna University in 2005, with a focus on bereavement.

Sue began her career working in nursing home settings and later provided care management through an Area Agency on Aging, coordinating in-home services for older adults. Her path continued into hospice and home care, and she has experience in senior housing and elder law. Over the years she has worked directly with seniors and families, offering counseling, education, and practical guidance about what to expect across the health care and aging journey.

As a therapist she meets people where they are and uses a flexible, multi-theory approach tailored to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single model. Her clinical training includes client-centered therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness therapy. Her specialties include grief, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career issues, depression, coping with life changes, and coaching. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, midlife transitions, seasonal affective disorder, and social anxiety or phobia.

Sue provides services in English and generally checks messages here a few times per day Monday through Friday, responding as quickly as possible. She asks for patience when replies take a bit longer due to other client care or professional and personal responsibilities. She is not currently accepting new clients.
