Therapists in Gilbert, SC

Hi, my name is Kevin Phillips. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina in 2013 because I wanted to help people improve their mental health and achieve happiness. I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical, emotional and sexual trauma and abuse. I am also an accomplished crime victim counselor and have worked with sheriff and police departments in criminal domestic violence situations. I have also worked with victim advocates in a team approach with victims of other types of crimes such as armed robbery, sexual assault and sex trafficking. I have worked extensively with the legal systems in helping teenagers and adults who are facing legal problems because of their mental health challenges and the resulting behaviors. I have several thousand hours of experience assisting those with addiction problems. For those wanting counseling based on a Biblical world view, I am accomplished at providing biblically based mental health counseling. I am also effective at counseling pastors and other spiritual workers who face burnout and/or have failed in their ministries. I feel very comfortable helping those with end of life issues, bipolar issues and challenges, anger management challenges, and family conflict problems. I am confident that I can help those who are facing separation and/or divorce situations. I am adept at helping people with relaxation techniques and with peace and harmony restoration. I can assist you if you need help with exploring and creating goals and hopefulness in your life. I can help in communication improvement, in positive relationship development and in managing stress. I can help you achieve motivation and improve your impulse control issues. I feel very confident that I can help you improve your self-esteem and your feelings of worth and value. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy, humanistic/existential/Rogerian treatment orientations, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing and solution focused brief therapy. I like to spend more time on discovering solutions and what we can do together as a team to actually improve your life rather than spending too much time on finding out what the problem is. Understanding the source or sources of our problems is beneficial and indeed informs our treatment plan but the real work is in the "what are we going to do about it?" I offer encouragement, an upbeat positive personality and a can-do spirit who will come along side of you to help you get better. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

"Don't let your struggle become your identity." I am a professional counselor licensed in South Carolina with over 3 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I work primarily with adults who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, sexuality and LGBTQ+ concerns, however I have experience working with a variety of different ages and presenting concerns. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Ed.S. degree in Counselor Education with a specialization in marriage and family. In the next few years, I hope to gain more certifications in trauma treatment and sex therapy. I believe therapy works best when it is tailored to each person meaning I will work with you to figure out the goals and approaches to make it the best experience for you. Everyone's story is different and your journey will be different too. I am a very warm and jokey person which you will learn very soon! I tend to blend CBT and Client Centered Therapy with mindfulness in a way that suits your own goals. In my spare time, I love watching all types of movies (mainly thrillers and horror movies) and cuddling with my two cats, Twinkie and Cookie. Hoping to add a Weiner dog to the mix! It takes a tremendous amount of courage to take the first steps towards changing your life. I am here to support and guide you on that path to a fuller and happier life. I look forward to working with you!

Welcome to Better Help! You've taken a huge step, and I'm sure you're wondering how this works and whether it's the right fit for you. My name is Vickie McDaniel, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oklahoma. I am also a Licensed Independent Social Worker for the state of South Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2011. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, eating disorders, relationships/parenting and the grief and loss of people or of their pet. As a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness, self-esteem, positive thinking, and problem solving techniques. Sometimes another person, one who isn't in our immediate circle, can offer a perspective or additional support, that gives us movement on a difficult situation when we feel stuck. It would be my privilege to be that person for you. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. Our relationship with our self and others has worth and is useful to explore in counseling. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions with limited availability in the evenings and weekends. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check with me through messaging first. I look forward to working with you!

Counseling provides opportunities to gain understanding of your behavior, choices and patterns. Most of us deal with emotional, intellectual, social, physical and spiritual needs. It's important to choose positive behaviors which affirm us in a safe, non-judgemental environment. **Please read NOTE at bottom, Thank You** Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor in addition to a Nationally Certified Counselor.

Robert Kiser MT-BC, NCC, LPC, ALPS, EMDR-T, ADHD-CCSP I am a psychotherapist licensed in South Carolina and West Virginia with many years of professional clinical experience involving children, adolescents and adults.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process! Many clients have told me that I become quickly familiar, with a direct but laid-back, humorous and easy to interact with personality. In therapy, you'll be learning about YOU! A lot. Past, present, future. That's actually why this whole thing is going to work. You probably won't actually realize it's been like an hour when we talk, but probably will realize you learned new things between each session. Therapy can sometimes be mentally, emotionally and physically tiring, as well as energizing; but usually those are good signs of accomplishment! You know yourself the best, and are always in control of your treatment, and I respect that.
