About Stephanie

Stephanie Franklin is a Texas-licensed LCSW with 13 years of clinical experience who centers therapy on each person's strengths and lived knowledge.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centered principles to create a collaborative space where the individual’s perspective guides goals, and she pairs that orientation with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy when patterns of thinking and behavior contribute to stress or low mood. Stephanie emphasizes respectful partnership, helping clients explore what they value and how change might look in day-to-day life.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and bipolar mood challenges. She also focuses on relationship and family struggles, parenting questions, communication problems, control issues, and life transitions.

ADHD is listed among her areas of focus and is integrated alongside issues like self-esteem, isolation, and self-love rather than presented as a standalone program. Stephanie aims to support clients through practical coping strategies while honoring their expertise about their own lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Stephanie uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and lived experience, creating a collaborative environment where goals and pacing are set together. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while they explore personal values and strengths.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and everyday challenges by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together; Stephanie will discuss options and tailor methods to align with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels practical and relevant. This collaborative decision-making helps ensure interventions match what an individual hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use therapeutic tools in real time between appointments.
