About Stephanie
Stephanie Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and questions about career and life purpose.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and noticing what matters most. She uses approaches that help people change unhelpful patterns and build small, steady habits for everyday life.
Stephanie often helps young adults who feel stuck after school or early in their careers. She talks through social anxiety, overwhelm at work, and the pressure to have life figured out. She also works with people from LGBT and multicultural backgrounds and veterans, offering respectful attention to each person’s experience.
In session she mixes core tools from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-based ideas, and mindfulness. Conversations include goal-setting, behavior experiments, and exercises to reduce reactivity and manage mood. She can also use narrative techniques and motivational interviewing to clarify values and next steps.
People who prefer clear steps and practical strategies tend to do well with her. She helps clients break big problems into manageable actions. To start, she asks about current struggles, priorities, and what a useful first session would look like.
How specific approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing inner experiences and choosing actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck by shifting attention to meaningful activity rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns into manageable steps. It is useful for panic, social anxiety, and daily habits that affect mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. These practices are often paired with other tools to help manage stress and emotion.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that match those aims. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the client learns what helps them most.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or shifts, and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins or flexible appointment times when needed, which can help keep therapy practical during busy periods.
