How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Franklin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical coping skills that people can apply between sessions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize empathic listening and to create space for clients to explore values, emotions, and personal goals at their own pace. These methods are well suited to concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, addictions, and coping with life transitions because they combine skills training with a focus on the client’s experience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each client to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting course as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps tailor interventions so they feel practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options allow clients to access regular support without travel, fit sessions into busy days, and use brief check-ins between appointments when helpful. For many people, that accessibility makes it easier to maintain momentum and apply therapeutic tools in everyday life.
