About Stephanie

Stephanie Gore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina who draws on a blend of evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, she emphasizes culturally responsive care and a collaborative stance that invites clients to explore their values and goals while developing concrete coping skills. Her work often addresses relationship and family challenges, grief and trauma, and issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and life purpose.

Stephanie integrates cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance and mindfulness-based tools to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, shift toward meaningful action, and build emotional resilience. She also brings motivational interviewing and client-centered principles to sessions, offering support that centers each person’s lived experience and strengths.

Clients can expect practical skill-building alongside empathic listening - an approach intended to foster clearer communication, increased self-compassion, and progress on career or personal goals. Stephanie accepts clients in South Carolina and offers a range of remote session formats to suit varying schedules and preferences.

How her approaches translate to online therapy



Stephanie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, supporting clients who want to pursue meaningful goals despite internal barriers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods feel most useful and adjusts strategies based on the client’s needs, preferences, and progress so treatment remains responsive and goal-oriented.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working toward clearer communication, improved coping, and greater self-compassion.
