Evidence-Based Approaches Available Online

Angela Franklin commonly uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery and emotional healing. This approach is well suited to people seeking empathy, validation, and a space to explore personal values and goals.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often effective for stress, anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Additionally, Angela uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify their motivation and resolve ambivalence when making meaningful changes, such as addressing addictions or establishing healthier habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor strategies and decide which techniques to prioritize so the work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy with Angela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. These options make it easier to access regular support, manage appointments around work or family, and continue care through transitions or relocation while working with a licensed professional.
