Stuart Worley, LPC

Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, and anger. She also helps people dealing with trauma, attachment questions, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is direct and accepting. She acknowledges that coping patterns once helped and may no longer serve the person now. Sessions focus on practical change rather than labels. Conversations are geared toward understanding what drives repeated reactions and what could be done differently.

Stuart uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify values and take steps toward them. That can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure which change to try next. Stuart describes sessions as a collaboration where the person’s goals guide the work.

Practical issues such as sleep, parenting stress, communication breakdowns, and patterns of anger are worked on with short-term tools and longer-term skills. Her approach emphasizes steady skill-building and real-life practice between meetings.
