About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction while respecting each person’s story and needs.
She aims to build a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard moments and try practical steps forward. Sessions often address relationship tensions, work-related stress, grief, and changes that come with different life stages.
Her style blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused steps. That means she listens closely, helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and identifies small, achievable changes to try between sessions.
Dr. Franklin often supports clients dealing with self-esteem, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and career decisions. She also works with people facing more complex issues such as bipolar concerns, substance use, and recovery after trauma.
She brings particular attention to problems tied to caregiving, aging, body image, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. People who prefer a collaborative, practical approach tend to find her style approachable.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Dr. Franklin uses client-centered work to prioritize each person's experience, creating space to be heard and understood while shaping goals together. This approach helps when someone needs empathic support and a clear plan for what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often involves practical exercises and small experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change routines that get in the way of daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying strengths and next steps. Sessions focus on setting short-term goals and noticing small wins that can build momentum through transitions or stressful periods.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way rather than delivering a one-size-fits-all plan.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to meet when travel would be difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm available options before booking so you know how appointments will be scheduled and conducted.
