Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy in this practice means conversations that focus on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people identify what matters most to them and where to begin changing routines or reactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then test small changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress that shows up in daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps quickly identify practical goals and the steps that move a person toward them. It is often helpful for people who want brief, action-oriented work on parenting challenges, career stress, or coping with change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand, then suggest methods to try. Plans can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online therapy with Dr. Franklin offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks, live chat or text is useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy parenting life while keeping the work practical and focused.
