About Stephanie
Stephanie Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 13 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and she supports people facing parenting challenges and life changes.
She works from the assumption that people know their own stories and already have strengths to draw on. In sessions she listens for practical patterns that cause repeated upset. Then she helps people notice small changes they can try between meetings to test what helps.
Stephanie uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's perspective and pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety running. Together these approaches help with mood, worry, anger, and coping with transitions.
Her practice includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, bipolar mood issues, and challenges like ADHD, self-esteem, and isolation. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and building habits of self-love.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on everyday life - work demands, family roles, money worries, and health pressures. Stephanie helps people break bigger problems into doable steps and re-evaluate what is working in real life.
To begin, the typical next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site's process.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client's viewpoint and following their pace. In online sessions this means the therapist centers what matters most to the person and adapts the session flow to how the client prefers to talk about problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online work can use brief skill-focused conversations to identify unhelpful thinking and set practical experiments to try between sessions for anxiety, mood, or stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust as those needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. One practical benefit of online sessions is fitting meetings into a busy week - shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break and avoiding travel can save time. Online work also makes it easier to maintain consistency when life gets hectic, and it supports trying behavioral experiments in the real contexts where problems occur.
