About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with about five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship and communication problems, parenting stress, ADHD, trauma, and related concerns such as grief, anger, and trouble sleeping.
She frames difficult patterns as strategies that once helped and now feel stuck. Stuart uses that understanding to talk through how those habits developed and where they get in the way now. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Her approach blends attachment-based work with techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. This mix is aimed at improving coping, communication, and emotional regulation.
Stuart adapts conversations to each person’s situation. She pays attention to family dynamics, codependency patterns, and issues tied to adoption, abandonment, or caregiver stress. People who struggle with emptiness, guilt, or trouble setting boundaries may find this practical focus helpful.
In sessions she often sets short-term goals and practices skills together. The plan usually includes concrete homework between meetings and revisiting what’s working. That helps people test changes in everyday life and adjust the approach as needed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and getting unstuck from old patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect present behavior and feelings. It helps people understand patterns like people-pleasing, codependency, and difficulty trusting others so they can try different ways of relating.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which can make homework and short-term goals easier to practice between sessions.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match the person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean combining ACT, attachment work, and CBT techniques over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits help people try new skills in the middle of their usual routine and then bring back what did or didn’t work for discussion.
