Stephanie Gore

Stephanie Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use day to day. Her style is warm and culturally aware, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for everyday life.

She draws on several evidence-based methods to guide conversations and skills practice. Sessions often center on improving communication, managing strong emotions like anger, and building self-esteem. Stephanie also supports people facing career uncertainty, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and end-of-life concerns connected to hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Her work emphasizes collaboration. Clients set goals and try approaches that match those goals. Stephanie uses reflective listening and motivational techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes between sessions.

Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to help with anxiety, panic, and seasonal mood changes. Cognitive tools help shift unhelpful thinking when depression or social anxiety feels limiting. Narrative methods can help people make sense of difficult experiences and find a clearer path forward.

With four years of clinical experience, Stephanie blends practical skills with an empathetic presence. People looking for help with life transitions, multicultural concerns, or issues tied to aging and caregiving often find her approach accessible. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps toward what matters, which can help with depression, anxiety, and life purpose questions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. The therapist listens closely and reflects what is said to help people clarify their own goals and solutions, useful for self-esteem, communication, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something does not feel helpful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps fit therapy into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or let someone choose audio over video when that feels better. Ask about formats available and how to schedule so sessions match your life and goals.
