About Stephanie
Stephanie Beattie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction concerns, relationship and family matters, and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and she notes experience supporting LGBT clients and people coping with trauma and grief.
She uses practical, conversational methods to help clients sort problems and set clear goals. Stephanie draws on client-centered work to prioritize the person's perspective, and on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused ideas to change unhelpful thinking and build short-term strategies.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion about daily patterns, coping tools, and small steps that can be tried between sessions. She also brings trauma-focused approaches when past events are affecting current functioning and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.
Her work often addresses communication breakdowns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She has experience with drug and alcohol addiction and with mood conditions including bipolar disorder and panic problems.
Stephanie frames therapy as a collaborative effort to map out practical changes. To begin, the usual first steps are a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first session so the two of you can identify priorities and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with listening and reflection so goals are clear and personally meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it provides concrete tools to test new ways of thinking and acting for anxiety, mood issues, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and then test approaches together, adjusting methods as needed to fit what helps most. That collaboration makes it easier to adapt techniques so they work between sessions and in everyday life.
The exact online session formats for this therapist are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills between meetings in their normal routines. Licensed professionals can use a mix of discussion, guided exercises, and homework to keep progress moving forward.
