About Stephanie
Stephanie Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and self-love.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversation to help clients identify their strengths. She treats the person, not just a problem, and encourages practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings.
Her approach draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviors, then helps people try different ways of responding. That can mean practicing new communication habits, testing small changes at work, or learning tools to calm sudden anger.
Stephanie often helps people sort through family conflict and communication problems. She guides people dealing with control issues, guilt, shame, isolation, divorce or separation, and the emotional fallout of life changes. Work on parenting concerns centers on what actually works in the home.
People who come for help with anger can expect practical strategies rather than quick fixes. Sessions aim to reduce the frequency of snapping reactions and to repair relationships when anger has caused distance. The therapist also helps manage the day-to-day stressors that feed into frustration and resentment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In an online session this looks like the therapist asking about your priorities, restating them plainly, and building on your own ideas for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Practically, CBT sessions include identifying specific thoughts that escalate anger and trying out alternative responses between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals and daily life. That means checking what helps, adjusting methods, and focusing on skills that feel useful rather than one fixed plan.
The therapist's biography does not list exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice communication skills in real settings and bring specific situations into the session for immediate feedback.
