Frankie McKelvin, LPC

Frankie McKelvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina - SC LPC 7124 - and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). She works with people from varied cultural and diverse backgrounds, helping those who are psychologically and emotionally healthy but facing challenges that arise from difficult life events. Some clients arrive with more acute difficulties than others, and she declines work that falls outside the scope of her training or the techniques she offers.

Frankie supports individuals at all life stages, from adolescence through late senior years, without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. She considers her specialty to be working with families and couples as well as LGBTQ populations, addressing both individual and family concerns.

Her counseling style emphasizes active collaboration - success depends on both the client and the therapist engaging in the process. Clients are often asked to apply themselves during and between sessions through homework such as journaling, reflecting on specific topics related to their situation, or completing targeted projects. These tasks are intended to advance the goals identified in counseling.

Frankie takes an educational approach to therapy and draws on established models including Adlerian Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide treatment.
