Frankie McKelvin

Frankie McKelvin is a licensed professional counselor authorized by the South Carolina Board for Labor Licensing and Regulations, with the license recorded as 7124. A member of the American Counseling Association, Frankie brings ten years of clinical experience working with clients from a wide range of cultural and diverse backgrounds.

Frankie works with individuals across the lifespan, from adolescence through the late senior years, and accepts clients regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. While Frankie supports clients who are generally psychologically and emotionally healthy but challenged by difficult life events, he does not take cases outside his training or scope of practice.

Specializing in family and couples work as well as LGBTQ populations, Frankie addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, parenting concerns, anger management, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Frankie views counseling as an educational and collaborative process that requires active participation from both therapist and client. Sessions typically involve weekly engagement and may include between-session tasks like journaling, focused reflection, or other practical assignments designed to help clients reach the goals established in therapy.

Therapeutic work is informed by an integrative approach drawing on Adlerian ideas, Gestalt principles, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to tailor interventions to each client’s needs.
