I have twenty years of psychotherapy and clinical social work experience. I work with individuals, couples and families. My primary areas of focus s include adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, family and interpersonal dilemmas, professional exploration, and life coaching. I am very experienced in working with people who have eating-related issues, I.e. binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity and pre-operative and post-operative bariatric surgery (WLS- Weight Loss Surgery) procedures. The majority of my clients continue to work with me for “health maintence” purposes. In other words, primary issues are ameliorated and focus transitions to maintaining healthy coping skills. I have been in private practice since 2002. I have also been the lead psychological editor for column in a national surgical journal, taught several collegiate courses as part of adjunct faculty, and maintained affiliations and memberships with numerous professional organizations. My practice focuses on working through the issues at hand and to maintain healthy coping skills for self-awareness and personal growth in various contexts. I am straightforward and personable while keeping in mind boundaries. I will do my best to work with a client, however, it is ultimately up to the client to do the real work.

Find a therapist near you in Little Mountain, South Carolina

Finding a therapist near you in Little Mountain, South Carolina starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. South Carolina is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In South Carolina, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across South Carolina, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in South Carolina

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
