About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma and related issues.
She begins by listening to how a person's current patterns developed and what those patterns do for them now. She uses straightforward methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and attachment-focused work.
Sessions tend to focus on practical skills. That can include spotting automatic thoughts, testing beliefs in small steps, and building behavioral routines that improve sleep and daily functioning. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and on motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck.
Stuart pays attention to family and parenting stress as problems that affect individuals. She can help with communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges related to autism and gender identity.
People who prefer clear, structured sessions that include skill practice and brief behavioral experiments may find this approach useful. She describes therapy in plain terms and works with clients to set concrete goals and steps toward them.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Stuart aims to keep sessions focused and practical while adjusting methods to each person's situation.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online sessions can use short, practical exercises to notice automatic thoughts, test beliefs with small experiments, and set daily routines that improve sleep and mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and build flexible responses to difficult feelings rather than trying to eliminate them, which can be useful for long-term coping and life changes. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and aim to develop more reliable ways of asking for needs and responding to others.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix of methods fits the present concerns and where to start.
Confirm the supported session formats before booking because formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people use tools from sessions in their everyday environment. The emphasis is on practical, structured work that can be carried into daily life rather than on theoretical discussion alone.
