About me
Hello, my name is Frankie McKelvin. I am licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) from the SC Board for Labor Licensing Regulations (SCLLR), License #7124. I am a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). My clients vary from different cultural and diverse backgrounds. The clients with whom I work are psychologically and emotionally healthy and are seeking counseling for challenges arising from difficult life events. Some clients are facing more difficulties than others. However, I do not take on clients whom I cannot help using the techniques and knowledge I have available to me, or in areas that I am not trained in. I work with all individuals in life stages from adolescence through late senior years, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. I have had the pleasure of working with couples in marriage counseling and couples counseling. In order for a client to be successful, the counseling experience includes active involvement in the process, as well as my own. Collaboratively, we will work to resolve your concerns and, hopefully, to improve the quality of your emotional life. You will be asked to apply yourself during and between sessions on a weekly basis. There may be homework assignments, including journaling, thinking about certain topics related to your situation, or completing other appropriate projects. All of these tasks are geared towards helping you to achieve the goals that we have identified for you in counseling.
I take an educational approach to helping clients with their concerns and my counseling is based on these philosophies: Adlerian Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Frankie McKelvin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Excellent. Attentive, aware, kind and informative
We are enjoying doing therapy with Frankie.
Frankie has been a huge support in our marriage. She helped us identify areas that we needed to work on, develop action plans and reflect on using new tools. She holds us accountable in relatable and effective ways. We are so thankful for her.
Frankie has an approach to therapy making it a point of identity for your needs and really takes the time to understand the circumstances to put together the best why to work and be resourceful to be helpful. Her process led to what I can proudly share with friends and family because there’s progress . Frankie was able to capture core values we individually have and made it easy for us to understand one another and be aware of our areas of opportunity to work on. I look forward to continuing to work with my therapist and with her unique guidance.
Frankie is an absolute God send!!! My husband and I were having issues in our marriage and Frankie was able to give us some tools to work through our issues. We absolutely appreciate and thank Frankie for what she has done in our marriage. Thank you!!!
