About Frankie
Frankie McKelvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, depression, addictions, anger, and related concerns. Frankie works with adults across different cultural backgrounds and with varied life situations.
Her approach asks for active involvement from the person seeking help. Sessions often include discussion and reflection, plus practical tasks to try between meetings. Clients may be asked to journal, think through specific topics, or complete short projects tied to their goals.
Frankie uses client-centered work to focus on each person’s perspective and lived experience. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult stories they tell about themselves.
Solution-focused ideas are used to spot strengths and small changes that make a difference fast. Sessions balance problem-focused work and building practical coping steps for day-to-day life. This combination is commonly applied to relationship issues, parenting stress, body image concerns, and anger that affects close relationships.
She notes limits to what she will take on and will not pursue work outside her scope. The practical emphasis means clients are expected to engage in weekly work and follow-up tasks. That active stance is meant to move things forward between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and viewpoint. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting back what matters, and helping the client name their priorities in everyday terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior. In remote sessions CBT typically uses thought records, behavioral experiments, and concrete tasks to try between meetings. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Online discussions can map those stories and help people test new, more useful narratives. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Frankie will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will suggest practical steps, check progress, and adjust techniques based on what is helping. Session formats were not specified in the profile, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, since they can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Remote sessions also make it simple to keep short weekly check-ins, try homework between meetings, and use written tools like journals or worksheets to track progress.Areas of expertise
