Elizabeth Gore, LPC

Elizabeth Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She draws on over a decade of clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and changes in daily life. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with practical steps clients can use between sessions.

She has extensive experience supporting adults and teenagers, and has provided therapy for adolescents since 2013. That background gives her a sense of common challenges young people face, such as impulsivity, concentration, and relationship strain. She also helps people dealing with depression, addictions, and low self-esteem.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational interviewing techniques. That combination focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small, doable behavior changes that build momentum. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Elizabeth emphasizes each person's strengths and lived experience. She frames the client as the expert on their own story and works to make coping skills feel attainable. Many people come for concrete tools to manage emotions, improve focus, and handle parenting or family stress.

Her approach balances structure with encouragement. She offers straightforward strategies for communication problems, impulsivity, and life transitions. The aim is steady progress that fits into real life, not quick fixes.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; sessions break down unhelpful thinking and test small changes to daily routines that improve mood and focus. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify personal goals and build motivation for change through guided conversation rather than pressure.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies feel most useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video works well for session-style work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick reflections, brief homework planning, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can focus on steady progress without rearranging their whole schedule.
