About Stuart

Stuart Worley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, parenting challenges, grief, and sleep difficulties.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with issues like attachment difficulties, autism spectrum concerns, caregiver stress, and impulsivity. Her therapeutic stance is warm, accepting, and encouraging.

Stuart views longstanding patterns as understandable strategies that once served a purpose, then partners with clients to explore new ways of meeting needs when those strategies no longer produce the desired results. She blends attachment-based ideas with skills-oriented methods including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive techniques, tailoring conversation and treatment plans to each person’s priorities.

Stuart emphasizes collaboration and practical progress, helping clients identify workable changes and build skills for everyday life. She aims to create a respectful space where people can pursue growth, greater emotional balance, and improved relationships on their own timetable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and challenges that involve avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like low mood, sleep problems, and worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Stuart will collaborate with clients to choose and adapt methods based on each person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options allow people to engage in skills practice, reflective work, and supportive conversations from locations that fit their daily life while maintaining ongoing scheduling flexibility.
