About Frankye
Frankye Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Indiana with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She prefers to work with clients over 25 who are ready to do the work needed to make changes.
Across her career she has guided people through practical problems like caregiver stress, career setbacks, and midlife transitions. She also addresses deeper struggles such as abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. She regularly supports issues tied to family roles, fatherhood concerns, and aging and geriatric matters.
Her approach blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. She uses motivational interviewing when exploring readiness for change. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way, test small adjustments, and build clearer choices for action.
In sessions she listens for how thoughts and behaviors keep patterns going. Then she helps people try concrete changes and notices what works. Conversations emphasize practical steps for dealing with stress, rebuilding self-esteem, and managing anger or resentment.
She has particular experience working with Black and African American clients and brings awareness of multicultural concerns into the work. People who want straightforward, work-focused therapy often seek her out to tackle the habits that are holding them back.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to help them sort out priorities. Online sessions can keep that same conversational focus while targeting the issues you bring, like anger, low self-esteem, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tries small behavioral experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused therapy narrows in on practical next steps and short-term goals to make immediate improvements. Both approaches fit common online session aims such as managing stress or testing new ways of responding to anger.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help you decide which methods match your needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time based on what helps. Expect a mix of listening, setting concrete goals, and trying small changes between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to practice new responses to anger, rehearse conversations, and plan manageable next steps.
