Stuart Worley, LPC

Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings five years of front-line experience helping people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and relationship or communication problems. Stuart’s tone is accepting and encouraging, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and doable.

She focuses on common life problems such as sleep difficulties, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with change. She also works with concerns linked to ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues around identity such as gender dysphoria or LGBT stress. Stuart pays attention to family-related struggles and caregiving strain while keeping sessions centered on the individual in front of her.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These tools help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Treatment plans are shaped around what each person needs and wants.

Stuart describes her style as compassionate and nonjudgmental. She acknowledges that old patterns often made sense once, and she helps people test small changes that fit their life. Conversations are practical, with clear steps to practice between sessions.

Stuart works in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She practices in South Carolina as an LPC and supports people dealing with a wide range of stressors and life transitions.

Practical therapy methods for online care

Stuart commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with exercises and brief experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages clearer personal values and teaches ways to act toward those values even when strong emotions are present.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand why they repeat certain interactions and how to try different ways of connecting. Stuart treats these approaches as tools to be tested together, not fixed rules; she will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.

Online therapy lets people access counseling with less travel and more scheduling flexibility. Video calls are best for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or work with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to practice new skills in everyday life while staying connected to a licensed professional.
