About Frankie
Frankie McKelvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing life changes, loss, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, and stress. Frankie speaks English and brings a straightforward, practical approach to therapy.
Frankie sees people from diverse cultural backgrounds and helps them address a wide range of concerns. She supports clients dealing with grief, addictions, body image struggles, LGBT issues, intimacy challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with parenting strain, caregiver stress, career concerns, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her work includes helping people with adoption and foster care questions, attachment and blended family issues, communication and commitment problems, and cases involving prejudice or multicultural concerns. She also notes experience supporting people who are visually impaired.
Frankie uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative conversations, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions often involve setting goals, trying specific actions between meetings, and reflecting on progress. Homework may include journaling or other short exercises aimed at making steady changes.
She asks clients to take an active role in their care and to complete short tasks between sessions. The aim is practical progress on the concerns you bring and clearer steps forward in everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following your concerns. The therapist helps you tell your story, reflects what matters to you, and uses that material to set goals and next steps. This approach is useful for emotional issues, identity questions, and relationship concerns.CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions typically involve identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and trying short exercises between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping after difficult events.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Frankie will collaborate with each person to match methods to your goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT tasks or using narrative and solution-focused ideas to create brief action plans.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week. It also lets people do shorter check-ins or focus on workbook-style tasks between meetings, which can speed practical progress without requiring long travel.
