About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship and communication struggles. Stuart meets clients with patience and a straightforward style that aims to make change feel doable.
She frames difficult behaviors as attempts to get needs met. That perspective guides an accepting, nonjudgmental therapy space where people can look at old patterns and try different responses.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skill building as well as understanding how past attachments shape current relationships. Stuart uses a mix of approaches depending on what each person needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation, and attachment-based ideas to work on closeness and trust.
Motivational interviewing may be used when people want help finding their own reasons to change. In sessions Stuart keeps language plain and goals specific. She works with people on sleep, anger, self-esteem, parenting stress, grief, trauma, ADHD concerns, and more.
She also supports clients facing issues related to adoption, caregiving stress, codependency, and identity questions such as gender dysphoria. Her approach aims to help people build small, sustainable steps toward a more manageable life. Stuart emphasizes collaboration and tailors plans to what each person says they want to change.
Online approaches that focus on skills and relationships
Stuart commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change thinking patterns that worsen anxiety and depression, and teaches practical tools for sleep, mood, and impulse control. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people build trust and more effective ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stuart will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose techniques that fit. That collaborative planning means therapy can shift over time to match changing needs and new challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with face-to-face interaction. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth or video is difficult. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or moments of grounding between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep building skills between meetings.
