About Stephanie

Stephanie Beattie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with 19 years of experience. She welcomes people who are ready to take a step toward change and offers steady, practical support. Stephanie listens without judgment and helps clients sort their immediate concerns into manageable steps.

Her approach emphasizes clear, direct conversation and collaborative problem solving. She often begins by identifying what matters most to a person and then building a simple plan to address those priorities.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings to ease stress and improve daily functioning. Stephanie has worked with individuals facing a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, grief, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes work with drug and alcohol concerns and LGBTQ people. Therapy sessions are intended to be respectful and calming, with an emphasis on practical tools. She uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and build coping strategies.

Clients are encouraged to try techniques between sessions and bring back what worked and what did not. Stephanie aims to create a straightforward roadmap for change with each person. She works in English and offers sessions in formats that match different needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely and mirrors back what she hears so people feel understood and can clarify their goals. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, respectful space to sort feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It gives concrete tools to manage anxiety, panic, mood changes, and stress by changing thinking patterns and practicing different actions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. That process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting plans as progress is made.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These formats allow flexible scheduling and let people continue therapy from home or another convenient location. They also make it possible to practice skills in real time and bring real-life examples into session conversation.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
