Dr. Elizabeth Franklin, LPC

Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and the everyday stresses that make life feel heavier.

She builds sessions around each person's story and practical needs. That means clear goals, tools you can use outside the office, and a steady focus on what you want to change. Dr. Franklin also works with issues like sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career pressure, and struggles with self-esteem.

Her approach blends client-centered conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. Conversations are direct and collaborative, and the therapist helps people test small changes between sessions to see what works.

Dr. Franklin has additional experience supporting caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, and people coping with major life transitions. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related questions, grief, and recovery from domestic violence or substance problems.

Sessions aim to balance practical strategies and honest reflection. The goal is steady progress you can measure in daily life, whether that means reducing panic, improving sleep, setting stronger boundaries, or finding clearer direction at work.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to your priorities. It helps people feel heard and builds a plan based on their goals and values.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Solution-focused therapy targets small, achievable changes and short-term goals. It is useful when you want quick strategies to move through a specific problem or transition.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. You can change direction as work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are available. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to work around work or caregiving responsibilities. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and workable for everyday life rather than on a specific format.
