About Allese
Allese Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with three years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also focuses on life purpose, body image, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and self-love.
Scott describes a practice informed by evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual and humanistic perspectives. She uses art therapy and recreation therapy as part of sessions when helpful. She speaks from personal experience as someone who has also been in therapy, which she says helps her relate to common struggles.
Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people name what feels off, notice patterns, and try small changes that fit day-to-day life. She encourages clients to take the lead on what they want to work on and checks in about pacing and goals along the way.
Her background includes work across age ranges, from children to older adults, and with a variety of presenting issues. In practice she frames healing as work two people do together for as long as it’s needed. She is a mixed-Black woman from the U.S. east coast and mentions a personal love of animals.
People looking for support around direction after major life changes may find her approach useful for sorting options and next steps. For international clients note that she does not accept them at this time.
Evidence-based methods and online sessions
She integrates a mix of evidence-based methods alongside spiritual and humanistic ideas. One common evidence-based approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Another element she uses is art therapy, where creative activities help express feelings that can be hard to say aloud, useful for grief, trauma, or body image concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so it is easier to keep regular appointments. Because the original biography does not specify session formats, confirm current online session options before booking. Emphasis is on shaping sessions to fit everyday life rather than promising a particular delivery method.
