About Stephanie
Stephanie Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 13 years of practice. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and believes clients are the experts in their own stories. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people who feel overwhelmed by daily demands.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and build on each person’s strengths. That approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make their own decisions about next steps. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Many people come to her with stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship and family concerns. She has worked with parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like anger, guilt, and low self-esteem. She also supports people handling life changes, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.
Her work often addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and learning to build more self-love. Sessions aim to combine clear, actionable skills with attention to personal values and strengths.
To begin, she encourages a simple first step: reach out, share your story, and together consider goals and a plan. The focus is practical growth that fits daily life while honoring each person’s experience.
How client-centered care and CBT work online
Stephanie uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead, listen deeply, and build on existing strengths. That approach focuses on understanding concerns and helping people choose their next steps based on their values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for practical change. It offers concrete tools to notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or relationship patterns, which can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. She will work together with clients to decide what feels most useful based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as goals change.
The practical benefits of online therapy are about fitting care into life. Online options can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when that suits a busy day.
