About Franklin

Franklin Chapman is a licensed clinical social worker based in Kansas who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career struggles, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on three years of clinical experience to support clients through common relationship and personal challenges such as communication problems, commitment issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Franklin frames therapy around the client’s own strengths, working from the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and can build on existing resources to move forward. His practice integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles, alongside mindfulness and solution-focused strategies when appropriate.

Franklin emphasizes a collaborative process that respects individual goals and pace, and he encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy. Prospective clients can expect an approachable, strengths-based style that balances practical skills with thoughtful reflection to address concerns such as impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, and sexuality-related issues.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses; it is often used for issues like anxiety, stress, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s experience guides the work and personal strengths are amplified to support growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Franklin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time, blending practical CBT tools with a client-centered stance and mindfulness or solution-focused strategies when those seem helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or transportation constraints. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from their chosen settings while tailoring session frequency and style to what works best for them.
