That is roughly 2.3 providers per square mile of land area, or 28.6 per 10,000 residents.

That puts Abbeville close to the middle for South Carolina. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 252 places in South Carolina with at least one registered provider, Abbeville ranks 87th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is mental health counselor (9), professional counselor (2), clinical social worker (2), addiction (substance use disorder) counselor (1), with 0 further types making up the remainder.

Just over half of the licensed providers here — 64% — hold the same licence, mental health counselor. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.

14 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 16,387 licensed providers are registered across South Carolina, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
