College is a time of exciting opportunities, but it can be stressful between balancing classes, exams, work, relationships, finances, and planning for the future. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, it may be time to consult a mental health professional. Palmetto Mental Health Counseling provides specialized therapy for college students in Columbia and throughout South Carolina through secure online therapy, helping students navigate challenges while supporting their emotional well-being and personal growth.

Who Can Benefit From My Counseling Services?

I’ve had the chance to work with many young adult clients who have found themselves in your shoes. Some struggle with anxiety about academic performance, while others are coping with depression, burnout, homesickness, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. For some, college may bring unresolved trauma or longstanding emotional challenges to the surface. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful change.

What to Expect From Therapy With Me

My approach is individualized. I draw from several evidence-based therapies, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• EMDR therapy

Together, we will identify the patterns contributing to your stress, develop healthy coping strategies, and build the resilience needed to navigate both college and life beyond graduation. Virtual sessions allow you to meet with a trusted counselor from the comfort of your dorm, apartment, or home, making it easier to prioritize your mental health.
