About Kwesi

Kwesi Franco is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with three years of listed experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy and parenting issues, LGBT concerns, anger, self-esteem, career coaching, and related topics.

Franco uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a key part of his approach. He focuses on identifying core thoughts and beliefs that shape feelings and actions. Sessions look at how long-standing patterns formed and how they continue to affect daily life.

He describes counseling as a process led by the client. The therapist acts as a guide, helping people set goals and pushing deeper when requested. The pace is set by the person in therapy, and progress depends on the work each person is willing to do.

In practical terms, he examines current patterns and traces where they may have come from. Conversations include which beliefs maintain problems now and which can be adjusted to change responses. Homework and practice between sessions are commonly used to try different ways of responding.

Franco’s background combines Adlerian influences with CBT techniques. That blend aims to connect personal history with present thinking and behavior. People who prefer clear, structured work on thoughts, habits, and decisions may find this style straightforward and direct.

How CBT-based work translates to online sessions

CBT concentrates on identifying specific thoughts and the actions that follow. It breaks problems into small, testable steps - noticing a thought, trying a different response, and reviewing what changed. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns.

Franco also draws on Adlerian ideas that connect current behavior to personal history. That perspective helps people see where patterns may have formed and decide what they want to change. Together these approaches focus on clear skills and real-life practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That means adjusting homework, pace, and session focus as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around a work break, or meeting without travel time. It can also allow greater flexibility for follow-up between sessions and practicing new skills in day-to-day situations.
