Therapists in South Carolina

Welcome, and thank you for being here. My name is Joseph, and I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals on their path toward healing, clarity, and growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work Practice from the University of South Carolina, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working across a broad range of therapeutic settings—including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, intensive programs, residential treatment centers, and private group practice. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals navigating a wide spectrum of challenges: depression, anxiety, relationship stress, parenting concerns, career transitions, and the weight of everyday stress. No matter the concern, my approach remains consistent—rooted in compassion, respect, and a belief in your capacity for change. I take an integrative and client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of evidence-based models including cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused, experiential, psychoeducational, and motivational interviewing. My style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I’m not here to “fix” you—I’m here to walk beside you, to listen deeply, and to help you uncover tools, insight, and strength you already carry within. Life can challenge us in unexpected ways. Sometimes it brings us to a place where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain. The thoughts and emotions we carry can begin to spill into our relationships, our work, and our sense of self. In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward—whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or simply a moment to breathe. Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous step, and I honor the strength it takes to reach out. Whatever brings you here, please know that you are not alone. If you’re ready to begin this journey toward greater peace, meaning, and fulfillment, I would be honored to walk it with you. I look forward to supporting you. Let’s take that first step together.

Hello! My name is Jeanne Peel, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I am licensed in Florida, and both North and South Carolina, and have worked with children, teens, and adults in individual, family, couple’s, and group settings. I have worked in community mental health, residential treatment, and private practice doing online therapy, as well as working for an insurance company call center doing mental health assessments to help connect people to therapy. I have helped clients in a wide range of areas including anger management, anxiety, communication issues, depression, grief/loss, low self-esteem, mindfulness, parenting problems, relationship issues, and work/life balance. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma or various types of abuse. My formal journey to become a therapist started when I was 40, but I think I've been in training my whole life. This isn't just something I DO, it's part of who I AM. I wear lots of hats and am grateful for each of them. I am a veteran myself and have 15 years under my belt as a military spouse, so military folks have an automatic special place in my heart. I have been married and divorced, I have 5 adult kids and 7 grandkids, and I helped my mom care for my dad with Alzheimer's until he died early in October 2021. I am very spiritual and believe we come into each other’s lives for a reason because we all have lessons to learn from one another. I work at staying fit and practicing good self-care by enjoying good nutrition, running, walking, biking, kayaking, yoga, and meditation. My therapeutic approach is eclectic as I pull from different theoretical backgrounds and my own experience to find what is going to be exactly right for you. My style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. I will treat you with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as we work together, and I will do my utmost to “meet you where you are” as I believe you are the expert on living your own life. I believe you already have your own answers deep inside and just need some guidance at times to find them. My approach is person-centered and combines elements of solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, existential, psychodynamic and mindfulness therapies. I feel the two biggest indicators of success in therapy are for the client to be engaged and willing to learn to let go of old self-limiting beliefs and to have a strong rapport in the client-therapist relationship. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. It also takes courage to look closely at oneself and one’s relationships and to own one’s “stuff”. If you are ready to take that step, then I am here to support and empower you on your journey as we work together and learn from each other. I look forward to working with you!
