Abreia Epps , LPC

Abreia Epps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who brings six years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. She completed undergraduate study in psychology at the University of South Carolina and holds a master’s degree in Counseling Education with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. Her training and experience inform a collaborative, growth-oriented approach that aims to increase emotional awareness and strengthen relational connections.

Her work centers on helping people move from patterns of reactivity and self-criticism toward greater emotional regulation, self-compassion, and healthier communication. Grounded in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based practices, and Internal Family Systems, she helps clients identify underlying needs, explore past and present relationship dynamics, and develop practical ways to respond differently in stressful moments. Sessions are designed to foster authenticity, balance, and lasting change through emotional insight and relational healing.

Abreia addresses a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family challenges, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues. She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, infidelity, jealousy, and coping with life changes. As a therapist, she aims to create a supportive, collaborative space where people can better understand themselves and their relationships and build more fulfilling lives.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Approaches for Online Care

Abreia Epps integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems to guide online work in a way that is relational and practical. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection - it helps with fears of abandonment, trust issues, and building secure bonds. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and reduce reactive conflict; it is often used for couples and relational healing. Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a way to explore and understand the different inner parts of a person, helping to reduce self-criticism and integrate conflicted feelings for greater self-compassion.

The choice of approach is part of the therapeutic process and is made collaboratively. Abreia works with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Abreia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular, consistent care from licensed professionals without traveling, while supporting the same goal of emotional insight, improved relationships, and practical coping skills.
