About Stephanie

Stephanie Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working with adults in South Carolina. She focuses on common and painful concerns like depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem. Her practice is straightforward and people-oriented, aimed at making therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

Stephanie uses clear, practical methods to help people name what feels hard and take small steps forward. She values cultural awareness and strives to meet clients where they are without judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize real skills and choices rather than labels or long lectures. Her background includes four years as a practicing LPC, which she draws on to offer structured, goal-focused work. That experience informs how she mixes talking, exercises, and short practices between sessions.

Clients can expect a balance of listening and active problem solving. Therapy with Stephanie often focuses on communication, coping with grief and trauma, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. She also supports those working through relationship strain, parenting issues, and life transitions.

The tone is encouraging and practical, aimed at daily life improvements. Stephanie tailors each plan to the person in front of her. She uses a few well-researched approaches and helps people pick strategies that fit their needs.

For many, that collaborative process makes the work feel more manageable and relevant to home and work life.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values. It helps when worry, avoidance, or difficult feelings keep someone from living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks down unhelpful thought patterns and teaches concrete skills to change feelings and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that show up in daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. She collaborates with clients to test techniques, adjust them, and pick what feels most helpful over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. These options let people meet from home or work and fit sessions into busy schedules. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and makes it easier to keep continuity when life gets hectic.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
