About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career shifts, ADHD, and other life changes.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying small changes that make daily life easier. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions goal-oriented and concrete.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and problem solving. She uses structured exercises to notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then tests new ways of responding. Sessions include planning specific steps people can use between meetings.
Elizabeth brings two decades of experience to complex situations such as addiction, trauma, bipolar management, and caregiving stress. She also addresses communication problems, commitment and codependency concerns, and issues that follow divorce or loss.
Her approach puts practical tools first while still listening to a person's story. That means clear goals, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments when something isn’t working. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How CBT and brief therapies work online
Dr. Franklin uses approaches that favor clear steps and measurable progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so the person’s priorities guide the work. Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on concrete goals and the small next steps that move someone toward those goals.Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to compare approaches, set short-term goals, and adjust methods if something is not helping. That makes sessions practical and focused on what the client wants to achieve rather than on a fixed method.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask which session types are currently offered when scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations without rearranging their day. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep steady progress while adapting session length and focus to fit everyday life.
