About Stephanie

Stephanie Beattie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 19 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad background in mental health, having supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction, as well as those navigating grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, and LGBT issues. Her work also addresses parenting concerns, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and attention-related struggles.

Her approach blends practical strategies with an empathetic, client-centered stance. Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and set realistic goals.

She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore emotions and develop a personalized plan for change. Sessions may include discussion of communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, panic and social anxiety, and relapse prevention for drug and alcohol addiction.

Stephanie invites those ready to take steps forward to engage collaboratively in therapy and create a roadmap for progress. She offers services in English and provides multiple online session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care



Stephanie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. Client-centered work emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore feelings and clarify their goals in a supportive environment.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help clients increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress. During early sessions she partners with clients to determine which combination of approaches fits best, adapting methods over time based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process aims to find strategies that feel manageable and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility and access. These options let clients maintain continuity of care around work, family, or busy schedules while engaging in therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
