About Abreia
Abreia Epps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, issues tied to identity and sexuality, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and feelings of guilt and shame. Abreia draws on therapy that looks at emotions, attachment, and internal parts to help people notice what is happening inside and in their close relationships.
She trained at the University of South Carolina and completed a master’s degree in Counseling Education with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. Since 2019 she has worked with individuals and couples, helping them identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions involve noticing emotional responses and learning small skills to change interactions and self-talk.
Abreia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationship experiences shape present behavior. She also brings Internal Family Systems concepts to help people recognize different inner parts that hold fear, shame, or blame. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set clear, practical steps when clients want quick, concrete changes.
Work in the room often includes naming intense emotions, mapping relationship cycles, and tracking which inner parts show up in tough moments. Abreia helps people practice new ways of speaking and reacting so patterns shift over time.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to increase emotional awareness, reduce harsh self-judgment, and improve communication in important relationships. She offers services in English and practices in South Carolina.
How her approaches translate to online work
Abreia commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems in her work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying core emotions in relationships and shaping new ways to express needs and connect. It is often used when relationship cycles or attachment wounds are causing repeated conflict. Internal Family Systems helps people notice different inner parts - for example a part that criticizes and a part that feels ashamed - and learn to relate to those parts with more curiosity and care.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abreia treats approach selection as a collaboration. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the approach matches the person’s needs and preferences rather than being fixed up front.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. For some people, video sessions help with nonverbal connection while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like mapping emotional cycles, parts work, and solution-focused steps so they remain practical and relevant in remote sessions.
