Lori L. Crawford, LISW-CP, LCSW

South Carolina · LISW-CPLicensed Independent Social Worker–Clinical Practice, South Carolina

Georgia · LCSWLicensed Clinical Social Worker, Georgia

For more than two decades, Lori has worked alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate loss, change, and the everyday challenges of relating to themselves and others. She is clinically licensed in South Carolina and Georgia, with in-person care in Duncan and virtual counseling for clients located in Georgia.

Her work supports people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and challenges with coping. Lori takes time to understand the thoughts, feelings, and relationships each person brings into the room, with space for the questions that may be hard to put into words.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), person-centered therapy, and solution-focused techniques, alongside her other listed approaches. Together, these offer different ways to understand your experience, clarify what matters, and consider a manageable next step.

Lori’s experience also includes clinical supervision and crisis intervention. She supports social workers pursuing independent clinical licensure and private practice, subject to applicable state requirements. Her crisis intervention work emphasizes thoughtful assessment, compassionate support, stabilization, and appropriate referral; it is not a 24/7 emergency service.
