About Frankie
Frankie May is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, or depression. She works with individuals facing big life changes and the distress those changes can bring. Her approach is straightforward and caring, aimed at making therapy understandable and useful from the first session.
Frankie adapts sessions to each person's beliefs and needs, offering either faith-aligned or secular support.
Background and approach
She focuses on simple, practical tools clients can use between sessions to manage panic, reduce social anxiety, and handle strong emotions. Conversations are paced to match what a person is ready to do and try. Her background includes long clinical experience in South Carolina and Georgia as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
That experience informs how she helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. She explains options clearly and sets realistic steps for change. Frankie often helps people improve communication and work through forgiveness or questions about life purpose.
She emphasizes learning skills for coping with panic attacks and social phobia, and building strategies to lessen day-to-day stress. Sessions typically focus on practical skill-building alongside opportunities to process feelings. Frankie encourages clients to set small, achievable goals and track progress over time.
The aim is steady, workable change rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic Techniques and Online Options
Frankie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and emotional processing. One approach centers on teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic - simple breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure strategies to reduce avoidance and ease panic episodes. Another emphasis is on managing mood and stress through routine, behavioral changes, and problem-solving steps that help people regain a sense of control and direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frankie collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, beliefs, and comfort level. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
