About Elizabeth

Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a licensed professional counselor with two decades of clinical experience in Missouri.

Background and approach

She draws on her LPC training to help people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, ADHD, and a wide range of life stresses. Her practice emphasizes listening closely to each person's story and tailoring interventions that fit their circumstances and goals.

Her style blends evidence-based techniques with an empathetic, client-centered stance. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused strategies to identify practical steps forward, while prioritizing the client's perspective.

Areas she often addresses include relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem and body image, sleep and eating problems, and career-related stress. Dr.

Franklin also brings experience working with more specialized concerns such as bipolar disorder, substance use and recovery, attachment and communication difficulties, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging. She aims to create an affirming environment where people can explore change, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful goals at their own pace.

Approaches That Inform Online Support

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and priorities, with the therapist providing empathic listening and reflective feedback to help individuals explore values, strengths, and goals. This approach is often helpful when someone wants an open, nonjudgmental space to process emotions and make meaning of life events.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior. It typically includes practical exercises, skill building, and structured strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and other concerns where changing thinking and behavior can lead to relief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect an ongoing conversation about what works best for them rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel. Video calls support face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide alternatives for those who prefer less real-time intensity or need shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and incorporate therapeutic tools into everyday life.
