Female Therapists in Duncan, SC

My name is Lori L. Crawford, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I have worked in the profession of counseling for over 15 years and I have enjoyed the journey. I have worked with all walks of life and in the process I have learned that people need people. I refer to a range of treatment modalities that can help with mental health problems, emotional challenges and unexpected life occurrences. My aim as a therapist, is to enable clients to understand their thoughts, feelings, and conflicts and help them work towards an improved outcome.

Life presents new challenges and changes daily. When these challenges and changes occur, it cause stress, anxiety, and makes you question certain decisions you have made. You may need to explore new options and directions for your life. My goal for each individual is to obtain a clear understanding of your needs and how we can work to establish personal growth and stability. My goal is to establish respect, compassion and trust in a nonjudgmental environment.

Life is a journey that can be full of uncertainty. At times we need the assistance of a trusted guide that can help keep us on track, be a sounding board to offer support, and help coach us through the most difficult moments. My calling as a therapist is to provide assistance throughout this journey while helping you move beyond your past, develop new skills, and hone in on your strengths. My motto for therapy is: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." -Carl Jung

People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. They may want to change their personal or family situation, solve a particular problem, or simply bring a healthier balance to their lives. The counseling process can be fun and exciting. It can also, at times, be very challenging. However, the goal will always be to bring about some positive change.

It is very easy to believe that change can't happen or that it's too late to make adjustments. The duration of a problem has nothing to do with your ability to make changes. You can start at any time to make changes that will make a difference in you life. Let me help you explore the steps you need to make improvements in your life.

I have over 11 years of experience that includes working with psychiatric, social, and environmental issues in the form individual, family, and group therapy treatment. In addition, I assisted coordinating community and state agency resources as needed. I have primarily worked with adolescents, young adults, and families in the capacity of aforementioned mentioned treatment settings. My primary focus is to help individuals and families maintain a stable and balance life.

You already have the wisdom and strength to change the way you feel. I can help you to heal from the bruises, build communication skills, and move through your stuck feelings. I work with adults for individual therapy. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA individuals, building coping skills for depression and anxiety, and helping people adjust to life changes such as divorce or disability.

Have you had a recent change in your life and find yourself struggling? Now more than ever it feels impossible to handle all of life's curveballs and day-to-day challenges. I hope to offer a space which feels safe in addressing life's challenges by listening to you and helping you to find peace and happiness with strength and resiliency for your future.

I've been feeling depressed, I feel anxious and overwhelmed. I need to talk through a specific challenge, I want to gain self confidence and improve myself, but I don't know where to start. If this is you/your child/partner, I understand, that was me a few years ago. I can offer aid in working through those tough emotions; anger, resentment, disappointment, feeling burnout, etc can be hard to navigate; I offer guidance in processing these emotions and finding creative ways to express yourself more authentically. I also provide counseling based on Biblical principles, helping you find strength and clarity in faith.

Helping individuals, couples, and families recover is the work I do. For the past two years, I provided counseling services to Marines, Sailors, and their families at Parris Island and the Marine Corps Air Station. Now, I am back in private practice with a clinical concentration in active duty and veteran military members, relational conflict, emotional disturbances, maladaptive coping, binge eating disorder, and generational trauma. As a therapist, my approach centers on thoughts (language of the mind) and emotions (language of the body) that determine our behaviors and impact the choices we make.
