Stephanie Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family conflicts, and address parenting challenges by building on each person's existing strengths and resources.

She recognizes that deciding to seek help takes courage and works to create a supportive environment where clients can explore concerns and pursue a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Throughout her career she has supported clients with a range of concerns including mood difficulties, trauma, grief, communication problems, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and personal insight to help people move through challenges and toward goals they define for themselves.

Approaches Used Online and How They Help

Stephanie Franklin integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own perspective and strengths, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore emotions and relationships and to build confidence in decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools to manage anxiety, mood difficulties, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Stephanie collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant to each person's circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and receive support from wherever a client is located within Texas, all while working with a licensed professional.
