Franklin Moore, LCMHC

Franklin Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. He brings six years of experience working with adolescents and adults in community health settings and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, addiction, grief, trauma, and other life challenges. Franklin emphasizes a client-centered, supportive approach that centers each person’s goals and strengths while using practical skills to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

He blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering acceptance and empathy alongside structured, present-focused techniques that target problematic thinking and habits. When appropriate, he may incorporate interventions drawn from Reality and Existential therapy to expand the tools available in sessions. Franklin values clear communication and a strong therapeutic alliance as central drivers of progress, and he aims to create an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Franklin works with a wide range of concerns including family and parenting issues, LGBT-related matters, coping with life changes, chronic pain and illness, career and self-esteem challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He approaches each case collaboratively, tailoring methods to fit a client’s needs and preferences and supporting practical steps toward the outcomes they seek.

Client-centered and CBT care delivered online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on acceptance, empathy, and collaboration. It gives clients a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and values, which can be especially helpful for issues like relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and navigating identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, present-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that maintain problematic habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Franklin works collaboratively with each person to determine whether a client-centered stance, CBT techniques, or a blend of methods will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan evolves as progress is made and as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules or access support from home. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for each individual.
