After retiring from the Army, I went back to school to obtain my masters of Social Work to help others who suffer from trauma and depression. My biggest inspiration for wanting to help others is the help that I have received along the way. It was after seeing my therapist who helped to guide me through gender, dysphoria, and my transition, that I begin my path that has led me here, wanting to help others. My guiding philosophy is that you deserve to treat yourself as good if not better than anyone else. When you feel good, others will feel good too.

Hi, I’m Nicole! Therapy with me is about real conversations, practical tools, and accountability. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m down-to-earth, supportive, and won’t let them slide. I bring a diverse background of both life and professional experience, allowing me to see multiple perspectives and help you navigate complex relationship dynamics. Please note, we aren’t offering couples’ sessions at this time.

I am Dr. Michelle G. Clay, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and National Certified Counselor with more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, counseling, education, training, and community-based services. I earned my doctorate in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from Capella University and hold a master’s degree in counseling.
Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings, including schools, outpatient behavioral health, substance use treatment, higher education, and community programs. My clinical and professional interests include ADHD and executive functioning, trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, family and relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, and helping individuals develop healthier coping and communication skills.
I believe people often already possess more strength and ability than they realize. My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping clients better understand what may be getting in the way of the life they want to create. I bring both clinical knowledge and real-world experience into my work and strive to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and able to make meaningful changes at their own pace.
In addition to counseling, I am passionate about teaching, training, and professional development. I have served as an adjunct faculty member, clinical supervisor, facilitator, and conference presenter and enjoy helping both individuals and professionals translate knowledge into practical strategies they can use in everyday life.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Myrtle Beach
Searching for therapists in Myrtle Beach starts with knowing what kind of support and fit matter to you. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. A profile that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with specific populations can help you decide who may be a strong match.
Myrtle Beach has therapy options across the city and nearby areas like Socastee and Briarcliffe, though local appointment supply may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or prefer to meet with a South Carolina-licensed therapist from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Myrtle Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, take your plan, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Myrtle Beach, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
