Maurissa McCulloch

Maurissa McCulloch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, intimacy-related questions, parenting strains, and life transitions. Maurissa emphasizes that clients know their own story and brings a supportive, down-to-earth presence to sessions.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She helps people identify what’s already working and build on those skills. Conversations focus on practical steps for managing worry, improving relationships, and navigating changes rather than on jargon or labels.

Maurissa pays attention to themes like attachment, guilt and shame, and self-love. She also supports people exploring sexuality and life purpose, and she includes women’s issues among her focus areas. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while honoring each person’s pace.

Over the years she has guided people through small shifts and tougher transitions alike. She encourages clients to notice progress, try new ways of coping, and practice compassion toward themselves. This approach helps people make steady, realistic changes that fit their lives.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. International clients can be supported, and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Maurissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and deeper relationship patterns. One common approach she uses helps people manage anxiety and stress by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning. Another area of focus addresses attachment and intimacy issues by looking at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and teaching new ways to communicate and set boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maurissa meets clients where they are and collaborates to find the methods that match each person’s goals and preferences. She reviews options together and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect from different time zones, which supports international clients. Discuss practical arrangements and scheduling when you sign up so sessions align with your routine.
