Stephanie Gore

Stephanie Gore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem struggles. Stephanie brings four years of clinical experience to her work and aims to make therapy practical and understandable for everyday life.

She uses a variety of evidence-informed approaches to meet people where they are. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning new coping skills, and practicing ways to manage strong emotions. Stephanie emphasizes communication skills, finding a sense of purpose, and building self-love as part of long-term change.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She works with each person to set realistic goals and choose techniques that fit their situation. Feedback and small, doable steps are part of her typical process.

Stephanie also addresses issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and career-related stress. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, multicultural concerns, and challenges like panic attacks or seasonal mood shifts.

Therapy sessions are conducted in English and follow an approach that combines acceptance, mindfulness, and cognitive strategies. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, which helps align goals and sessions with the therapist's style.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It emphasizes accepting difficult feelings while building a life guided by chosen values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low motivation.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. The therapist provides a nonjudgmental space so clients can talk through what matters and arrive at their own insights, useful for self-esteem and relational concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options like ACT, client-centered work, or cognitive strategies and adjust based on how well they help.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and skill-building to an online format to keep progress practical and focused.
