Abreia Epps
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Abreia
I became a therapist in 2019. I studied at the University of South Carolina for my undergraduate studies, majoring in psychology. My master’s degree is in Counseling Education with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. For the last 6 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families.
The purpose of therapy is to provide a supportive and collaborative space for growth, healing, and self-understanding. My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional awareness, strengthen relationships, and foster a deeper sense of authenticity and balance within themselves and others.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These approaches focus on understanding emotional experiences, identifying underlying needs, and exploring how past and present relationships influence current patterns of behavior and connection. Sessions are designed to help clients move from reactivity or self-criticism toward emotional regulation, self-compassion, and healthy communication.
In individual therapy, the work centers on exploring emotions, inner parts, and relational patterns that shape one’s sense of self.
The overall aim is to create lasting change through emotional insight, self-awareness, and relational healing.

What clients say
- “I’ve worked with Abreia on and off for a while. I have made a ton of progress working with her. When I started I was incredibly unhappy in life. Now I like who I am/who I’ve become and am genuinely happy day to day. Other changes between then and now: my relationships have improved across the board, I didn’t exercise before and I exercise daily now, I have been doing far better in my career, I eat healthier and take better care of myself now, and I’ve found peace and contentment in life which alone is an immeasurable improvement. <br /> Abreia is a great therapist (I’d argue the best therapist!) and I’m really grateful for her. She is a great listener and she somehow remembers things that I share even better than I do. It makes me feel, not only heard, but that she genuinely cares about her clients. She also has an uncanny way of predicting experiences beforehand. I’ll tell her about something up and coming and she will somehow know exactly how to both prepare me for it and also give me food for thought/wisdom that I am able to reflect on afterwards and grow from. There hasn’t been anything that I’ve brought up in therapy that she wasn’t helpful in so it’s been great to have one person that I can work through anything with. I sincerely believe that one year of working with Abreia results in equivalent growth for me as at least ten years without therapy. It’s the best investment in myself I’ve ever made and I’m so thankful I chose to do it sooner rather than later.”

- “Before working with Abreia, I had tried therapy other times in the past, and I was basically the same person with the same problems after each attempt. I felt stuck. I suffered from depression, anxiety, and I wasn't able to be the person I wanted to be. I struggled day to day, had trouble forming relationships of any kind, wasn't taking care of myself, wasn't meeting any of my goals, and was just generally unhappy and unfulfilled in my life. <br /> I've worked with Abreia for some time now and am happy to say literally every single one of those things has changed. I am truly happy and content every day, I'm meeting all my goals consistently, I eat healthy, I exercise regularly, and my relationships have improved. The difference is like night and day. I can initiate conversations with anyone - and they actually go well now! My career was on the rocks but is going so much better now. My employer has definitely noticed the explosive growth as they bumped my salary up 33% over the past year! I literally did a 180 in life from virtually everything going bad to everything going great over the time I've been in therapy with Abreia. I cannot thank her enough. I have peace of mind, live in the moment, and am genuinely just so happy day to day and enjoy everything life has to offer now.”

- “Abreia is a great therapist. She strikes a balance between professionalism and relaxed conversation. Her insights have been worth every dollar. She gives me a safe place to express myself.
