Melissa Wilson, LPC

Melissa Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in South Carolina with three years of professional experience. She approaches therapy as a practical and valuable tool for personal growth and emphasizes meeting each person where they are, respecting individual needs and circumstances. Her work spans a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, LGBT and gender identity issues, relationship and family dynamics, grief and parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Earlier in her career she worked in a mental health facility supporting people dealing with addictions, trauma, and learning coping skills, and provided care to adults, teens, and children. In her current private practice she has focused more on adults, offering mindfulness training, coping skills development, and support around gender identity and related concerns. While she draws on person-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness training, she adapts her approach to each client’s needs rather than following a single method exclusively.

She maintains professional involvement with colleagues and professional organizations and is a member in good standing of the American Counseling Association (ACA). In her community work she is active with the local autism community, providing parent trainings to help caregivers manage challenging behaviors and working with staff to reduce burnout and encourage practical self-care strategies.
