Stuart Worley , LPC

Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing worry, low mood, ADHD symptoms, parenting strain, and relationship or communication problems. Stuart also helps clients dealing with grief, trauma, sleep disturbance, anger, and concerns related to gender and LGBT identity.

Her style is warm and accepting. She acknowledges that the behaviors people rely on often made sense at some point. Then she helps them notice why those patterns no longer serve their goals. Sessions are practical and focused on next steps rather than abstract theory.

Stuart combines attachment-based ideas with strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches. She adapts conversations and techniques to each person's needs. That can mean shorter goal-focused work or a more open narrative about past relationships and wounds.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Stuart listens for strengths and builds on them. She offers straightforward tools for emotion regulation, communication, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes work with neurodiversity concerns such as autism and with adoption, foster care, and attachment issues. She also supports people managing caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, codependency, and impulsivity. Stuart aims to help people make steady, practical change that fits their everyday life.

Approaches That Work Well Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting hard feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that stick. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns shape current reactions and needs. This approach can help with relationship issues, attachment concerns, and problems rooted in early care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and impulsivity.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the situation. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining quick skill work with deeper attachment-focused conversation when helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a longer session format. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for short updates, coping skills practice, or when a written check-in fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
