About Stephanie
Stephanie Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 13 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and mood issues such as depression and bipolar disorder.
She uses clear, practical methods to address day-to-day problems. Stephanie focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing different ways of responding. She also uses a client-centered stance that respects each person’s perspective and goals.
In sessions she breaks problems into concrete steps. That might include tracking thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, or practicing new communication skills. She talks through what has worked before and what could change now.
Stephanie also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges around identity, including LGBT concerns. She helps with relationship communication, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and self-love work.
Her approach is steady and practical. She will work with a person to set short-term goals and check progress over time. People can expect direct feedback, guidance on exercises to try between sessions, and a focus on skills that fit daily life.
How CBT and Client-Centered Work Translate to Online Sessions
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on noticing specific thoughts and behaviors, then testing small changes through exercises and experiments to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening to the person’s perspective and using that understanding to guide choices about what to try next.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and adjust methods based on what makes sense for the person. Collaboration guides which techniques are emphasized and how progress is measured over time.
