Stuart Worley , LPC

Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. As an LPC, she is a licensed mental health professional trained to assess and treat a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Stuart has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, autism-related challenges, relationship and communication difficulties, parenting concerns, ADHD, and trauma.

Her therapeutic style is accepting and encouraging, recognizing that longstanding patterns developed because they once met important needs. She acknowledges those patterns and helps clients explore why those strategies no longer produce the results they want, then supports practical change. Her approach blends attachment-based methods with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she incorporates short-term, play-informed techniques when appropriate to the client’s needs.

Stuart emphasizes individualized care, adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique circumstances and goals. She works collaboratively to identify achievable steps and coping strategies, supporting clients as they practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her aim is to help clients build skills and resilience so they can move toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stuart Worley integrates attachment-based therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work to help clients address emotional and relational challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps rebuild secure ways of connecting with others, useful for family, parenting, and relationship concerns. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors, making it helpful for anxiety, anger, and mood regulation. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with personal values, supporting change when old patterns no longer serve the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stuart works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts treatment as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel heard and involved in planning their care.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access care from home. For many people, remote sessions increase consistency and convenience while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused, skill-based work that supports real-world change.
