Angela Franklin, LPC

Angela Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She earned a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and has focused her work on a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Known for a thoughtful, listening-centered approach, she helps people make sense of how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect to current struggles. Angela draws on evidence-based methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-Based Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor care to each person's needs. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills, clearer understanding of personal patterns, and step-by-step work toward healing and positive change.

She approaches treatment with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting dialogue and plans to each individual's goals and pace. Angela supports clients in uncovering stressors that detract from daily functioning and in building strengths and strategies to move toward greater balance and well-being. Beginning therapy is framed as a courageous first step, and she aims to provide steady guidance throughout the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angela Franklin uses several practical, evidence-based approaches to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, giving individuals space to explore feelings and values while the therapist supports their autonomy and self-directed growth. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment, which can be particularly useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and stages of readiness for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists will guide that selection and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel barriers, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still providing regular therapeutic support and focused work toward personal goals.
