Stephanie Gore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She draws on four years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Her work often addresses relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related concerns.

Stephanie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps clients set small, doable goals. She uses simple tools to manage panic, reduce overwhelm, and challenge unhelpful thinking. Sessions focus on what feels most important in a person's day-to-day life.

Her approach blends mindfulness techniques with cognitive-behavioral ideas and acceptance-based strategies. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental tone and an emphasis on personal values and meaningful changes. Conversations often include skills practice and reflection between sessions.

Stephanie also uses motivational interviewing and client-centered methods to strengthen clients' own motivation and choices. This means she helps people weigh options and follow through on goals they care about. She pays attention to cultural background and life experience when planning work together.

People come to her for help with career stress, social anxiety, seasonal mood changes, and complicated family dynamics. She offers several formats for remote work so sessions can fit into busy schedules. Her practice aims to be practical, respectful, and focused on the next steps a person wants to take.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live in line with their personal values while handling difficult thoughts and feelings. It uses exercises that clarify what matters most and small actions that move a person toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood by testing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build present-moment awareness through simple practices that reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match immediate needs and adjust the plan over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls approximate an in-person meeting, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief coaching or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill building and personal values work.
