Carey Luker, LMHC, LPC — Therapist in South Carolina

Hi there, I'm Carey!

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in SC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in FL. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach, helping adults manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship struggles, lack of motivation, body image issues, life transitions, and maladaptive coping.

My focus

I work with young adults, women, and older adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck—facing worry, low self-esteem, mood changes, chronic illness, or life transitions. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and women’s issues, with a focus on self-esteem, emotional regulation, and chronic illness.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, using tools like CBT, DBT, IFS, and mindfulness in ways that fit your needs. Therapy is a safe, judgment-free space where you set the pace. We’ll face hard moments and celebrate progress so you can heal, grow, and feel truly heard.

My communication style

My approach is personable and laid-back, yet gently challenging when needed. I create a supportive space for clients to explore their struggles while offering honest, compassionate feedback. I use practical tools to help apply insights from therapy to daily life, fostering real and lasting change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I find joy in helping people discover their full potential and honoring the unique experiences that shape them. Being part of healing and growth is deeply meaningful to me. My path began in nonprofit case management, where I found my passion for fostering lasting change.

My goals for you

Goal setting begins in our first session. I invite clients to identify short- and long-term goals and stay open to adjusting them as needs evolve. Growth includes both success and setbacks, and every step offers insight. I believe the client is the expert in their own life and journey.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll complete a thorough assessment to understand your challenges and goals. Together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs to track progress. While the first session may feel clinical, trust and rapport will grow as we explore experiences and build effective tools.
