About Frankie
Frankie May is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, anger, depression, and big life changes. She also supports those facing communication problems, questions of life purpose, forgiveness, social anxiety, and panic disorder and panic attacks.
Frankie uses a compassionate, straightforward style in sessions. She adapts her approach to match each person's beliefs and comfort level, offering faith-aligned support when wanted or a secular path when preferred. Conversations are practical and aimed at helping people manage day-to-day symptoms and make clearer choices.
Her work often centers on building coping skills and clearer thinking around difficult emotions. She helps people notice patterns that increase distress and then practice small changes that reduce those patterns. Sessions include pacing that fits the person's needs and focuses on usable tools rather than abstract theory.
With long clinical experience across South Carolina and Georgia, Frankie guides people through grief, anger management, and the emotional impacts of life transitions. She emphasizes steady progress and realistic steps toward feeling more able to handle challenges. The goal is to help people reclaim a sense of control and move toward what matters most to them.
People who want a down-to-earth counselor who listens and offers practical tools may find her approach helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
How therapeutic techniques translate to online care
Frankie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear problem solving. One common approach she employs helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing how daily situations are interpreted. Another approach centers on building step-by-step coping skills for intense emotions, teaching breathing, grounding, and action plans to manage panic attacks and sudden anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Frankie collaborates with each person to test what fits their needs and goals, adjusts pace, and combines techniques as progress is made. The decision about which methods to use is shared and revisited over time.
