Counseling Practice – Palmetto Mental Health Counseling
Telehealth therapy for adults across South Carolina is the core offering of Palmetto Mental Health Counseling, a solo practice operated by Kelly Benjamin, MA, LPC-I, NCC, CCMHC. Benjamin holds licensure in South Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor-Intern (LPC-I) and carries additional credentials as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC). The practice website notes more than a decade of experience working as a person-centered, integrative eclectic therapist across a range of presenting concerns.
All sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, making services available to clients throughout South Carolina without requiring in-person attendance. The practice serves adult clients and college students, with a particular focus on professionals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those navigating anxiety and overthinking, burnout and emotional exhaustion, trauma, PTSD, depression and disconnection, low self-esteem, social anxiety disorder, relationship challenges, and stress-related concerns. Life transitions and college or young adult stress are also addressed within the scope of services the practice offers.
Therapeutic approaches include person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-informed care, integrated within what Benjamin describes as an integrative eclectic framework tailored to each individual client. The stated therapeutic style is described on the website as warm and collaborative, grounded in genuine human connection, with an emphasis on creating a space in which clients feel respected, supported, and emotionally safe throughout the therapeutic process.
