About Frankie
Frankie May is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience. She practices from South Carolina and works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, panic disorder and panic attacks, and social anxiety and phobia.
Frankie uses a straightforward style in sessions. She offers support that can be faith-aligned or secular, depending on what a person prefers. Sessions focus on talking through current struggles and learning skills to manage intense feelings. Practical tools and step-by-step methods are a regular part of the work.
Her background spans more than two decades of clinical practice. Over that time she has helped people develop coping strategies for stress and panic, and worked on rebuilding routines after loss or major change. She pays attention to how beliefs, habits, and relationships affect mood and behavior.
In practice she emphasizes concrete skills such as breathing and grounding exercises, communication techniques, and ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts. Sessions often include practice of these skills between meetings so changes can stick. The approach balances listening with action steps people can try in daily life.
Frankie aims to help people make manageable changes that fit their lives. She encourages clear goals and small experiments to see what helps. People can expect direct, practical work focused on reducing distress and improving how they handle everyday situations.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Frankie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at present-day problems and symptoms. One common approach focuses on teaching practical skills for managing anxiety and panic, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These methods help people practice tolerating discomfort and reduce avoidance over time.Another approach centers on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. That involves noticing thought patterns, testing their accuracy, and trying alternative ways of thinking to change emotional responses. This can be useful for social anxiety, depression, and persistent worry.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Frankie will work collaboratively to choose which techniques to try based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She mixes listening with concrete practice and checks in regularly to see which steps are helping.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats can suit shorter check-ins or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited; discuss options during the matching and scheduling steps.
