About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical experience helping people facing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and communication problems, ADHD, and trauma. Stuart writes plainly and meets people where they are.
Her style is accepting and encouraging. She acknowledges that coping patterns often developed to meet real needs. In sessions she names how those patterns helped in the past and when they stop working now. That makes it easier to try different ways of responding without shame.
Stuart blends attachment-focused ideas with skills-based approaches. She uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior work to teach practical tools for managing emotions. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help deciding on change and keeping momentum.
Sessions are tailored to each person. She adapts the pace, tone, and interventions to fit what someone wants to focus on. Short-term work and more open-ended therapy are both options depending on goals.
Many people find it hard to ask for help. Stuart treats that step as a sign of strength and partners with clients to build clearer communication, better self-regulation, and more manageable routines. She also has an additional focus on adoption and foster care concerns and related attachment issues.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift attention toward chosen values. It focuses on small, practical steps that line up with what matters most and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and safety that shape how people relate to others. In online sessions this approach helps clients map relationship dynamics and practice new ways of communicating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable pieces and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be helpful for mood, worry, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they will pick techniques and a plan that match the client's needs rather than forcing one method on everyone.
Confirm the available session formats before booking to know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people bring real-life situations into conversation more quickly, so skills can be tried and reviewed between meetings.
