About Stephanie

Stephanie Franklin uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard times. She combines that with practical cognitive behavior tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Stephanie is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 13 years of experience in Texas.

She often helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as bipolar.

Background and approach

Relationship strain, communication problems, control issues, and parenting challenges are frequent topics in her work. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to set small, doable goals. Stephanie uses straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge patterns that keep problems stuck.

The client-centered side means the conversation follows the person's priorities and strengths. She also helps people work through anger, low self-esteem, isolation, guilt, and self-love struggles. Practical skills for coping with life changes and attention differences like ADHD are woven into the plan when helpful.

Stephanie aims to make each meeting feel focused and usable. People meet her for short-term problem solving or for longer support while they process bigger changes. She encourages curiosity about what helps and what does not, and adjusts techniques to match each person's pace and goals.

Online support

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. The therapist listens with curiosity and follows what matters most to the individual, helping them notice and build on what already works. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods feel useful and adjust them over time based on progress and preferences. This means sessions can shift between listening, skill-building, and practical problem solving as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let conversations feel closest to an in-person visit, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
