About
Licensed professional counselor offering individual therapy for teens and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, eating disorders and more.
Hi, I’m Bethe Reed, a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I’m a generalist who treats many mental health concerns, with specialization in eating disorders and anxiety.
I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process in which we work towards the goals that are most important to you. I strive to demystify the process of therapy and hold a relaxed, supportive space where you can feel confident in your care and safe to be yourself.
My clients often describe me as approachable, warm, and highly invested in their care and well-being. I use a combination of several different therapeutic approaches, which you can read about below, and can include art- and yoga-based activities when requested.
If you’re ready to explore counseling for yourself or your teen, click below to request an appointment or free 15-minute consultation call. You can also call directly at 803-232-8190. I can’t wait to hear from you!

TraumaSometimes the issues you’re facing may not fit a specific diagnosis. If you don’t see your concern listed, feel free to ask.
My practice is trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and HAES-aligned.

Below is a list of evidence-based therapies I incorporate in our work.
Together, we will put together a treatment plan unique to you. We might use one of these styles or a combination of several, depending on your background, preferences, and the concerns you are working through.
Person-centered - this means we focus on the issues that are most pressing for you, move at your pace, work towards goals that are meaningful to you, and take into consideration all factors of your unique identity.
DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) - helps you develop skills for regulating strong emotions and learn to navigate conflict in your relationships.
ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) - especially helpful for anxiety and depression. Learn to identify what is most important in your life and move towards it, creating a deeper sense of fulfillment, even when anxiety is high or life’s circumstances are especially difficult.
Attachment-based & emotion-focused - helpful when coping skills and looking at the problem “logically” are not enough. A deeper approach to interpersonal, emotional, and relationship distress.
