About Kelly

Kelly Franklin is a licensed professional counselor with a decade of clinical experience based in Missouri who focuses on stress, anxiety, family tensions, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She aims to create an accepting space where clients can share thoughts and feelings candidly while exploring sources of worry, motivation, and confidence. Her style emphasizes partnership and encouragement to help people take meaningful steps forward.

With ten years of practice, Kelly has supported people navigating relationship struggles, communication breakdowns, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues such as impulsivity, control struggles, panic, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, social anxiety, and workplace difficulties.

Kelly frames therapy as a collaborative process and guides clients through practical strategies and reflection to build clearer goals and healthier patterns.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online care

Kelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at helping people manage anxiety and improve daily functioning. One common approach focuses on skills-building to reduce overwhelming stress and panic by teaching grounding, emotion regulation, and step-by-step coping strategies that can make intense feelings more manageable. Another strand concentrates on improving communication and relationship patterns by exploring attachment dynamics and practicing clearer, more effective ways of relating to others; this can help with recurring conflicts and caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and will unfold collaboratively. The therapist partners with clients to review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then selects and adapts techniques that fit each person’s needs and pace rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to continue work from different locations. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care and choose a format that supports their comfort and access to regular sessions.
