About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or parenting concerns. Stuart aims to create an open, accepting space where clients can begin making practical changes.
She centers her work on connection and skill-building. That often means looking at attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions.
How Stuart works
She also uses concrete skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Stuart adapts sessions to each person's needs. Conversations can be straightforward or gentle depending on what someone needs that day.
She values clear goals and short-term tools alongside deeper exploration of patterns that repeat across relationships. Parents and caregivers often find her helpful when parenting feels overwhelming or when family dynamics cause frequent conflict. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, sleep problems, anger, or the emotional strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue.
Her style is accepting and encouraging. She recognizes that coping patterns developed for survival can be changed when a person is ready. Sessions aim to help people notice those patterns, practice new responses, and build a life that reflects their values.

Approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It often focuses on reducing avoidance and building a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationship experiences shape current responses and helps people develop different ways of relating and regulating emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stuart will listen to what is most pressing, discuss possible methods, and try approaches that fit the client's goals and preferences. Sessions can combine techniques so the work stays focused and useful for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow short, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
