About

Christopher McKethan is a Licensed Independent Social Worker practicing in South Carolina who brings five years of clinical experience to his work. He completed his Master of Social Work at the University of South Carolina in 2016 and currently balances private practice with a leadership role as Program Coordinator for an intensive community mental health clinic that serves a vulnerable population with severe and persistent mental illness. In addition to the clients he connects with through BetterHelp, his clinic work has provided broad exposure to diverse clinical settings and varied presenting concerns.

His clinical focus includes trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, sexual satisfaction, identity navigation, body image concerns, self-esteem, substance abuse, relationship issues, stress in high-demand workplaces, childhood-related concerns, and problems related to excessive social media use. He also has experience treating mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, supporting LGBT-identified clients, and addressing attention-related challenges like ADHD.

Christopher has worked with clients across the lifespan and has engaged in both individual and collaborative treatment, including couples and family therapy. His practice emphasizes a personalized approach - sessions are organized around where each person is currently and what they need most. He uses an interactive therapy style to build a therapeutic relationship that feels supportive and affirming.

As a licensed independent social worker (his credential indicates clinical independence as a social work professional - license SC LISW 14279), Christopher aims to create a safe environment for clients to explore change, expand the strategies that are working, and pursue greater personal freedom and empowerment. He recognizes and values the effort it takes to begin therapy and welcomes questions from people considering starting this process.
