Elizabeth Gore , LPC

Elizabeth Gore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience. She draws on a strengths-based perspective that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on those strengths to address challenges like anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with concentration and focus associated with ADHD.

Elizabeth has worked with both teenagers and adults in clinical settings, providing full-time therapy to adolescents since 2013. Her work includes support for addiction concerns, family and parenting issues, communication and impulsivity challenges, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming. She emphasizes practical skills and collaborative problem solving while validating the courage it takes to pursue a more satisfying life.

Clients can expect a respectful, supportive approach that centers their goals and preferences. Elizabeth aims to help people identify meaningful changes and develop concrete strategies to improve day-to-day functioning and relationships.

Online Methods Using CBT and Motivational Interviewing

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, stress, and difficulties with focus, helping people change how they respond to challenging situations.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that supports a person’s own reasons for change. It is especially useful for addressing ambivalence around habits, addictions, or motivation-related concerns and for helping clients move toward changes they find meaningful.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which tools will be most useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across distance, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
