Stephanie Gore, LPC

Stephanie Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in South Carolina. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than long talks with no plan.

Stephanie uses straightforward methods to help clients build coping skills. She often focuses on patterns of thought and behavior and on small, doable steps that improve daily life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

She also addresses relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting stress. Stephanie pays attention to cultural background and personal history when shaping goals. She encourages clear communication and practical problem solving.

Her training includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based work. Those tools guide how she helps people reduce worry, manage anger, and clarify values. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas are used when someone needs help making a change.

Stephanie has four years of counseling experience and practices in South Carolina. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. People who want focused, goal-oriented work tend to find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people find their own answers; it is useful when someone needs support to clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values, which can help with stress, avoidance, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then use one or more approaches in collaboration. That way the plan fits what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversations much like an in-person session. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, do brief coaching, or fit short conversations into a busy day. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
