Louis Murden, LCSW, LISW-CP

Louis Murden is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience. He holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice credential (LISW-CP). He practices in South Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and depression.

He focuses on respectful, sensitive care and personal attention. Sessions are shaped to match what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. He emphasizes clear conversation and practical steps people can try between meetings.

Clients often come for help with relationship worries, feelings of abandonment or shame, caregiver stress, chronic pain or long-term illness, and trouble finding purpose. He also helps people dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, life transitions such as divorce, and midlife concerns. The work tends to mix talking through patterns with trying small changes in daily life.

Louis aims to support and empower people as they make changes. He encourages realistic goals and steady progress. He explains options in plain language and invites questions about the plan.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Many clinicians who list evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical, goal-oriented work. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. This usually involves short exercises and practice between sessions to build new habits.

Another frequently used approach focuses on grounding and stabilization for people with trauma or panic, teaching simple skills to manage intense feelings and regain a sense of control. These skills are useful for sleep problems, panic attacks, and managing chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session format options before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment would be hard to arrange. Confirm the available session types and scheduling details during the matching and booking steps.
