Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Elizabeth Franklin draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, creating space for clients to explore their values and goals while feeling understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths, helping clients set clear goals and build on what already works in their lives.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the therapeutic relationship. Dr. Franklin works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with a licensed professional from different locations within Missouri, while preserving the collaborative, evidence-informed care Dr. Franklin provides.
