About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and communication problems, and parenting concerns. Stuart also supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep issues, self-esteem problems, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice emphasizes practical talking and learning new skills. She describes how coping patterns formed to meet real needs. In sessions she helps people notice those patterns and try different responses that fit current life demands.
Stuart draws on several evidence-based methods to shape short-term, focused work. She uses strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at ongoing relationship patterns.
Her style is direct and encouraging. Conversations include problem identification, skill-building, and small experiments to test new ways of reacting. She also incorporates elements from play-based methods when appropriate to the person’s needs.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances practical tools with understanding why patterns developed. Stuart helps people develop clearer communication, reduce reactivity, and handle everyday stresses with more choice and control.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps when anger or frustration gets in the way of what matters most and offers steps to act despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT provides practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and test new responses in everyday situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be useful when strong reactions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stuart will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and life. That means testing techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting the focus as progress emerges.

They also let people practice new skills in the settings where challenges occur and then bring observations back to the next session for review.
