About Raylene
Raylene Franklin helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and big life changes. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, parenting questions, career shifts, ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to aging or caregiving. Raylene brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions and aims to help people find practical steps forward.
Raylene is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience in Montana.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with chemical dependency, hospice and end-of-life care, and people living with physical or developmental challenges. She has spent time as a life coach helping clients regain confidence during transitions. Her style is person-centered and easygoing.
She meets people where they are and treats each situation as unique. Sessions often focus on small, doable changes rather than big theory talks. Raylene uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies.
That mix lets her adapt to whatever a person needs that week - whether that is coping skills, emotion work, or goal-focused planning. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
People may start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that works for them.

Online support
How Raylene’s Approach Fits Online Therapy
Raylene uses client-centered work to focus on each person’s needs and goals. That means sessions often start by listening, reflecting what matters most, and shaping next steps together. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Raylene will talk with each person about what feels useful and try different strategies if needed. Together they set goals, check progress, and adjust methods based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coping prompts, or ongoing accountability between longer sessions. These options help people balance therapy with work, family, and caregiving duties.
