About
As a compassionate, person-centered therapist with more than a decade of experience, I use evidence-based approaches to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you heal, grow, and move toward your goals.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC)with 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I take a compassionate, person-centered approach and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you begin your healing journey. I work with adults and adolescents, helping clients address emotional overwhelm, unresolved pain, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Regent University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches to tailor treatment to your needs, build coping skills, deepen insight, and support lasting wellness.
I believe healing grows through trust, clarity, and connection. My goal is to help you move forward with confidence and purpose. You can expect a supportive space to explore challenges and strengthen your resilience. If you're ready, I would be honored to walk with you toward growth.

As someone who navigates the complexities of life and social systems related to race, gender, mental health, and overall identity, I understand how these factors shape mental health, and I approach therapy with empathy, cultural awareness, and a commitment to helping clients feel genuinely seen and supported.

15 years ago, I struggled with anxiety & depression. For a long time, I lacked the courage to acknowledge that I needed help. My life was on "auto-pilot." My best friend saw what I was going through, and he recommended I speak with a therapist. I am forever grateful that I listened to him, because my experience in therapy changed my life forever.
Jeff Burgdorfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience helping individuals and families. He specializes in anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief/loss, and men's issues. Jeff has spent the last 10 years working in many of the major treatment settings, providing therapy to clients in hospitals, residential rehab programs, and outpatient facilities. Through this work, he has cultivated and strengthened a unique skill set to help clients, using a person-centered approach to therapy.
Jeff's person-centered approach to therapy is rooted in the therapeutic relationship. When you meet Jeff, the focus will be on building trust, discussing what brought you to therapy, and why you decided to start now. These are important to Jeff's approach because your life & experiences are unique. For therapy to be effective, it can’t be one-size-fits-all.
Jeff is often asked about what contributes to client success in therapy. Although Jeff has learned a lot in his 10+ years as a therapist, his answer to this question has never changed: what matters most is how clients feel when they leave his office. It is truly the relationship that heals. He would love to meet you and discuss how he may be able to help.

I feel I will be able to help a variety of individuals achieve their goals through therapy because of the experience I bring through years of work and personal life experiences I have gone through on my own or with my family.
Hello, I am Robert Kirby, a clinical social worker. I've worked as a clinician in the mental health field since 2001 and became a licensed clinician in 2003. Over the years, I've worked as a clinical social worker (therapist) in medical care practices, in in-patient programs for drug rehab and psychiatric care, and as a therapist for elderly clients in nursing homes, as well as with families whose loved ones are in hospice care. I believe everyone has the ability to achieve their goals with the right help and the willingness to work at it. Taking that first step toward change is the hardest step to make.
When choosing a therapist, think about what you're looking for. I challenge you to think in new ways, like asking questions about your questions or playing devil's advocate. If you're up for a challenge, I'll support your work toward your goals. Each client connects differently, so I use varied techniques in session and homework to help therapy succeed.
Working with me will bring you the success you want, as long as you're doing the work needed too. No success is achieved without hard work. I look forward to being your guiding hand as you move through the process of your therapeutic work.

As a woman who has experienced personal trauma, grief and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building new life skills can empower us once again to the roads of resiliency ahead of us.
I'm Burt, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Supervisor Candidate, and Registered Play Therapist Candidate. I specialize in working with children, teens, and families with a passion for play therapy, neurodivergence-affirming care, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, grief, and helping families strengthen relationships. I use play, creativity, connection, and evidence-informed therapeutic approaches to help clients feel safe enough to explore what's underneath the surface. I'm also a mom and a business owner, and I understand that life can be beautifully messy. The heart of my work is connection with people and professional relationships.
I want therapy to be practical and compassionate—tailored to people in front of me. Not diagnosis or checklist. I care about creating a space where children feel understood, parents feel supported and families understand one another. I specialize in Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Child Centered Therapy.
Resilience doesn't mean nothing hard happens. It means developing tools and support to move through hard things without doing it alone. Whether you're a parent, teenager carrying more, family navigating transition, or child whose behavior communicates what they can't say, there is a place. You don't need it. Just be willing to start. I'm honored to meet you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in , SC usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in , SC offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
