About Stuart

Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship and communication problems, parenting concerns, trauma, grief, and stress.

Stuart uses straightforward conversations to identify what is no longer working and what a client wants to change. She acknowledges that patterns once helped you cope and looks at how those patterns fit current goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills rather than long lectures.

Her background includes therapies that pay attention to attachment and behavior. That means she looks at how past relationships affect present reactions. She also draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with emotional regulation and thinking patterns.

Stuart works with people facing issues tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care, abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness. She also addresses concerns such as sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, impulsivity, and gender dysphoria.

Her style is encouraging and accepting while staying focused on change. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs and keeps things practical. To begin, a person follows the site's steps to match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling uncertain about life direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. It helps when relationship problems, abandonment issues, or family wounds keep repeating in adult life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stuart will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That means trying concrete skills, reflecting on relationship patterns, and adjusting the plan if something does not fit.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments. The focus remains on practical tools and building skills that can be used in day-to-day life.
