Carla McKenney

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

As a licensed therapist serving South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, personal growth, and emotional well-being. My practice centers on empowering adolescents, young adults and women through compassionate, strength-based counseling. My expertise is providing support for clients to build self-esteem, develop effective communication skills, and work through challenges related to life purpose and personal identity.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding each person’s unique journey, with a particular focus on addressing abandonment concerns, managing anger, and supporting healthy emotional adaptation. I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they discover their inner strength, heal from past experiences, and create more fulfilling lives. My work is guided by a deep respect for individual experiences and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth and positive change.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people want to know whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. One major advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule. All therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone feels they need a different match, they may switch therapists at any time. Online therapy offers an accessible option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health challenges.
