About Merlyn

Merlyn Lucius is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a trained End-of-Life Doula. She earned her M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from East Tennessee State University in 2021 and is licensed as an LPC in South Carolina. Merlyn's counseling experience has mostly been in medical settings, where she learned to work with diverse populations and a range of concerns, and to view health holistically. She has extensive experience with CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She knows counseling is not one-size-fits-all, so she stays flexible to meet her clients' needs. Merlyn believes change is a natural part of life and that everyone can change. She feels everyone sometimes needs support to learn coping skills, recognize and build on their strengths, and feel seen and heard. Whether a client is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or a life change, she hopes to offer a non-judgmental, welcoming space where clients feel safe being vulnerable. She believes everyone is welcome in counseling and is mindful of the specific challenges that come with each person's unique identities. She is honored to walk alongside clients as they heal and deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
