About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She draws on five years of clinical work helping people who are feeling stuck by anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and relationship or communication problems. Stuart aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can begin to change long-standing patterns that used to help but now hold them back.
She describes her style as warm and encouraging. Stuart starts by listening closely to what matters to each person. She treats difficult behaviors as responses that once made sense, and then works with clients to find safer, more helpful ways to meet those needs.
Stuart combines several approaches rather than relying on a single method. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. She also draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach practical ways to manage emotions and behavior.
Sessions are tailored to the individual. Stuart adapts conversations and plans to fit a person’s goals, whether that means short-term problem solving or building longer-term skills. She also attends to issues like codependency, abandonment, caregiver stress, and gender dysphoria when those topics matter to the client.
She welcomes people who are ready to try a different way of living. Stuart helps clients identify small steps and practice new skills between sessions so change can carry into day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people form more secure, trusting ways of relating. This approach is often used when relationship history, abandonment, or attachment issues are central concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stuart collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine ACT, attachment-focused ideas, and practical skill-building so therapy fits the issue and the person rather than forcing a single model.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for quick check-ins between in-person commitments. It can also let someone focus on skills training or emotion regulation work from a quieter spot and make scheduling around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework to what is realistic for each person's day-to-day routine.
