Frankie McKelvin, LPC

Frankie McKelvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed by the South Carolina Board for Labor Licensing Regulations (SCLLR), license number SC LPC 7124. She is a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and works with clients from a variety of cultural and diverse backgrounds across life stages from adolescence through late senior years.

Frankie focuses on supporting individuals who are generally psychologically and emotionally healthy but who are seeking counseling to navigate difficult life events. She also works with people facing more significant challenges, while declining cases that fall outside her training or that she cannot address with the techniques and knowledge she maintains. Her practice serves clients regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

She considers family and couples work and serving LGBTQ populations to be areas of specialty, addressing both individual concerns and family dynamics. Counseling with Frankie emphasizes active collaboration - the client and therapist both participate in the process - and progress often relies on engagement during sessions and follow-through between appointments.

Clients should expect an educational, goal-oriented approach that may include homework such as journaling, reflection on targeted topics, or other relevant activities to support progress. Her counseling is informed by Adlerian therapy, Gestalt therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy.
