Stephanie Gore, LPC

Stephanie Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She focuses on guiding people through stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Stephanie aims to create a calm, respectful setting where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

She uses straightforward, practical tools to help clients manage strong emotions like anger and panic. Conversations often focus on improving communication, clarifying life purpose, and increasing self-compassion. Stephanie also addresses relationship concerns and parenting stress in individual sessions.

Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She encourages small, doable steps that fit into everyday life rather than overwhelming homework. Sessions are collaborative, with goals set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Stephanie pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes each person's experiences. She aims to listen carefully and tailor her approach to what a person finds most helpful. Topics she often supports include grief, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, and issues related to aging and end-of-life care.

People who prefer clear, practical strategies and a caring conversational style tend to do well with her. She brings four years of clinical experience to her work and uses that experience to keep sessions focused and relevant.

How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transition work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and social anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which often helps with stress and anger.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will adjust techniques based on what feels most useful. The plan can change over time as progress and needs evolve.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if bandwidth or comfort with video is a concern. Licensed professionals help clients apply the chosen methods in everyday life so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
