About Frankie
Frankie May is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of clinical experience based in South Carolina. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, panic and social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
Frankie frames sessions in plain terms. She listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people develop practical coping strategies. Sessions can include talking through painful memories, practicing ways to reduce panic symptoms, and rehearsing clearer ways to handle conflict.
Her style can be faith-aligned or secular according to each person’s preferences. That means faith or spiritual values are brought into the work only if the client wants that. Otherwise the work stays focused on emotional skills and problem-solving.
Over many years she has supported people through bereavement, career shifts, and the emotional fallout of relationship changes. She helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and build steadier ways to manage mood and anxiety. She also offers focused help for social fears and panic attacks, using step-by-step approaches.
Clients can expect straightforward language and concrete practices rather than abstract theory. Frankie emphasizes coping tools, clearer communication, and planning for practical next steps when life is uncertain.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Frankie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach addresses panic and anxiety by teaching breathing and grounding skills, then gradually practicing feared situations to reduce intensity over time. Another approach targets low mood and depression by identifying unhelpful routines, testing small behavioral changes, and building activities that improve daily structure and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Frankie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. She adjusts methods as progress is made, checking in about what feels helpful and what should change.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be hard to schedule. Some formats are better for step-by-step coaching and skills practice, while others suit longer talks about loss and direction; Frankie will discuss which format best supports the goals you bring.
