Dr. Elizabeth Franklin , LPC

Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life changes in practical, real ways.

She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels hard. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps rather than jargon. Dr. Franklin pays attention to each person's background and daily realities when planning work together.

Her practice covers common struggles like grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. She also supports people coping with trauma, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD-related challenges.

Dr. Franklin draws on Client-Centered therapy to follow a person's pace and priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change thinking patterns, and Solution-Focused techniques to build small, doable changes. These methods are used to reduce symptoms and build coping skills people can use between sessions.

People who choose her often want practical tools and a steady listener who respects their values. She aims to help people strengthen self-esteem, improve communication, and find workable steps toward goals.

Work is offered in English and is provided through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can name what matters most and set their own pace; this helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and motivation to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps. Sessions often identify what already works and build on those strengths to create quick, practical changes for problems like sleep issues, parenting stress, or workplace challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to goals, preferences, and the issue at hand. Plans can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
