About Stephanie
Stephanie Beattie is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience based in South Carolina. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed and offers steady support for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, mood shifts, and relationship struggles. Her style is calm and down-to-earth.
She focuses on listening first and helping people take the next manageable step. Stephanie draws on practical methods to help people sort through worries and make small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different actions in everyday life. Mindfulness tools are another part of her approach when people want ways to settle the body and mind.
For people processing trauma or painful memories, she uses trauma-focused methods to help reduce distress and build coping skills. Solution-focused work helps set short-term goals and track progress in clear steps. Her experience includes work with substance use, LGBTQ concerns, family issues, grief, and career stress.
Stephanie helps people navigate parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and problems with self-esteem, guilt, or shame. She also supports clients dealing with panic, social anxiety, and bipolar or depressive symptoms. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects people to her practice and the mode that fits their life.
How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person. The therapist listens without judgment and helps shape goals based on each person’s values and needs. This approach helps when someone is unsure where to begin or needs a steady, supportive presence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Together they try small experiments and new skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address panic symptoms. CBT is practical and action-oriented, which translates well to remote sessions.
Mindfulness methods teach simple ways to notice the body and breath and reduce stress in the moment. These practices can be done in short exercises during a video call or reinforced between sessions via text reminders or chat check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then tailor methods together. That collaborative exploration makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t fitting.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging can keep momentum between sessions and make short updates easier to manage. These options help fit counseling into busy schedules and varied routines.
