About Raylene
Raylene Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Montana with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career stress, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions also address aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, codependency, substance use concerns, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, and social anxiety.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's perspective and to build collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work short-term and goal-oriented. She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas and Motivational Interviewing to support change when emotions or motivation are central.
Raylene describes her style as easygoing and coach-like. She aims to help people navigate immediate challenges and regain confidence. Sessions are oriented toward finding steps that fit daily life rather than long theoretical discussion.
Her background includes work in chemical dependency, hospice and end-of-life care, developmental disabilities, and mental health settings. That experience informs practical strategies for coping and for managing transitions.
People can expect straightforward conversations, concrete coping tools, and collaborative planning. Raylene combines short-term problem solving with attention to emotional experience when it matters to the issue being addressed.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and on building collaboration; it helps when someone needs validation and practical problem solving that reflects their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and develop new coping skills; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and relationships and can help when strong emotions shape decisions and behavior.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals and what feels helpful. Then she will suggest methods and adapt them based on feedback. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around work and caregiving, fewer travel demands, and the ability to do short check-ins when life is busy. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions let them fit therapy into a day without a long commute while still using the same CBT, client-centered, or EFT techniques they'd use in person.
