We are products of our environment, experiences and relationships. Along the way, we have gathered deeply internalized beliefs - some that serve our growth and wellbeing, some that don’t - emotions, both positive and negative, and chronic stress or trauma. All of this has impacted our life and much of what has happened in the past still resides deeply in our body, manifesting as behavioral, relational or emotional struggles, often unexplained and sometimes inexplicable.

Life is difficult and unpredictable. It is often filled with pain and suffering which can leave us feeling alone and misunderstood. Perhaps, this describes you. In your life, maybe recently or long ago, you’ve experienced loss, trauma, unfulfilling relationships, disappointment in yourself or others, accompanied by feelings of shame, guilt, or inadequacy. And perhaps, you’ve tried to talk to someone about your struggles, but you felt it was too much for that person to hear or for you to share at that time. Then again, maybe you’ve never spoken to anyone about the burden you carry which has inflated your feelings of loneliness.

My approach is using the mind-body connection to address symptoms. I believe in treating each of my clients as a whole person. The mind and body are not separate entities but are intricately interconnected. I believe effective treatment must reflect this delicate relationship between mind and body.

These times for many produce stress, anger, anxiety depression, and other mood disorders. I utilize evidence-based practices such as ad CBT and REBT to assist my clients in navigating through and overcoming these times.

My name is Laura Clayton and I am an LPC here in South Carolina. By looking at both conscious and unconscious beliefs, you can choose more adaptive beliefs & combine them with new behaviors which creates a whole new reality. I also understand how past traumas impact how you approach the present moment, and will address these root issues. While insight and self-understanding are important, deep understanding of one's self does not always translate into behavioral change. I combine process and insight oriented psychotherapy with problem- solving, practical, CBT interventions that are done between sessions to maximize treatment.

Dr. Goldberg was trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an evidence-based treatment used to treat a number of mental health disorders, in which research has demonstrated effectiveness. The concept behind CBT is that our experiences impact the way we think about our environment. Our thoughts influence and at times dictate our behaviors. If we examine the thoughts, understand where they come from, then we can change our behavior and ultimately how we feel. In addition to current thoughts, behaviors, and feelings it’s sometimes necessary to take a deeper dive into one’s unconscious to grow and find peace.

In the story of your life, what does the next chapter hold? This continues to be a heavy time for the world emotionally and it can make our coping harder. When death or loss, overwhelming changes and difficulty coping happens, we all need support. These changes can make us fearful or anxious about how our personal story will continue. How do we move forward and make new plans when all we feel is stuck? Do you seek relief from troubling thoughts or behaviors or have repeated struggles with your important relationships?

I am passionate about helping clients struggling with issues related to self, self-identity, and relational distress. These issues typically manifest themselves in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relational conflict. It is my goal to partner with my clients to create an environment in which they feel safe, accepted, unjudged, and free to explore themselves and what they are experiencing. I have worked with adolescents ranging in age from 8 to 18 years, young adults, and middle-aged adults. I have experience working with people from a wide array of beliefs, values, and ethnic backgrounds.

TRAUMA... It leaves you feeling like you are not yourself. Are you constantly on edge, suppressing random thoughts about it, or trying to avoid anything or anyone to do with it? Traumatic experiences can leave us shattered, shaky, or enraged all the time. It interferes with our relationships, work, or school. It’s lonely and exhausting. You are not crazy, weak, or broken. You’ve had a natural reaction to an overwhelming experience. Trauma is linked to so many issues like depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and is very treatable.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
