Kelly Franklin , LPC

Kelly Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience. She focuses on women's issues alongside stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Kelly aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Kelly listens for what matters most, then helps people break worries into small, usable steps. Conversations cover coping tools for panic and anxiety, ways to rebuild confidence, and strategies to handle workplace or family tension.

Kelly pays attention to how attachment, control issues, and impulsivity show up in day-to-day life. That helps identify habits to change and healthier patterns to practice. She also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth stress, caregiver strain, and recovery after traumatic events.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Kelly works with clients on communication skills, problem solving, and setting reachable goals. Sessions can include short-term plans for specific worries or ongoing support for broader life transitions like midlife shifts and questions about life purpose.

Clients meet with Kelly through a mix of live conversation and messaging options. She encourages people to go at their own pace and brings ten years of practical counseling experience to each session.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Many evidence-based therapeutic approaches focus on practical skills and clear steps. For example, cognitive techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different interpretations to reduce anxiety or negative self-talk. Behavioral strategies encourage small, repeatable actions that build confidence and reduce avoidance in social or workplace situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using and which to change.

Online therapy with Kelly uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling easier to fit into daily life. Video lets people talk face-to-face when that helps; phone calls work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, between-session support, or layering work between scheduled meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can match a person's schedule and needs.
