About Angela
Angela Franklin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
She helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect to current problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and learning coping skills. Angela guides clients to identify small changes that can ease daily strain and increase emotional control.
Her interventions draw on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She explains techniques in clear language and practices them in-session so clients can use them between appointments.
Angela aims to break big problems into manageable steps. That might mean working on thought patterns that fuel anger, trying a behavior experiment, or setting short goals to reduce stress at work. She uses motivational strategies when people feel stuck or ambivalent about change.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions include checking progress, learning a new skill, and planning what to try before the next visit. People who want straightforward, skills-based support for anger and related issues will find focused, hands-on help.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and next steps are set together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Angela uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and priorities. That approach means the conversation centers on what matters most to the client and the therapist responds to build understanding and practical steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT can help with anger by teaching ways to change thought patterns and practice new responses in real situations.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels uncertain about making changes. It involves exploring values and options, and helping people find reasons to try new behaviors without pressure.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not listed in the 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 during a lunch break, less travel time, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every appointment. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine skill practice, tracking, and real-time problem solving during online sessions to keep progress moving.
