About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people feel more in control. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address problems like anger, anxiety, stress, and attention difficulties. Elizabeth speaks plainly and works with adults and teens to set clear, manageable steps toward change.

She has eleven years of professional experience and has provided full-time therapy to teenagers since 2013.

Background and approach

That background gives her familiarity with common issues young people face, including impulsivity and problems with concentration. She also supports adults coping with self-esteem, depression, addictions, and life transitions. In sessions she treats clients as the expert on their own lives and looks for strengths you can use right away.

Conversations focus on practical skills and short-term plans that can reduce overwhelm. She uses techniques that help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build momentum. Elizabeth pays attention to communication and family dynamics when those areas get in the way of daily life.

She addresses parenting concerns and family problems with down-to-earth guidance and tools you can try between meetings. Her style is direct but compassionate, aimed at concrete change. If starting therapy feels hard, she recognizes that step as courageous.

The initial work centers on identifying priorities and creating small, achievable goals. From there she helps clients track progress and adjust strategies so improvements are steady and realistic.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In plain terms, CBT breaks big problems into small, testable steps so clients can try new responses and see what changes. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style she uses to help clarify values and strengthen motivation for change, especially when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. She talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they pick techniques that fit the client’s needs and adjust approach as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is most helpful. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give options for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
