About Stephanie
Stephanie Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 13 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and anger. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Stephanie centers sessions on the client’s perspective. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and reducing reactive patterns that cause tension at home or work.
Her work often combines a client-centered way of listening with cognitive behavioral tools. That means she listens for what matters most to the client, then introduces straightforward techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions commonly cover problem-solving, managing triggers, and experimenting with different responses to conflict.
People seeking help for anger will find a focus on understanding what drives their reactions and learning alternative ways to respond. Stephanie also addresses related issues such as control problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and difficulties that follow divorce or separation.
Practical steps are emphasized in session. Expect goal-focused conversations, skill practice, and follow-up between meetings when useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities. In practice this looks like sessions that begin by asking what matters most, reflecting back concerns, and letting the client set goals. It helps with relationship issues, parenting strain, and feelings that build into anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions using CBT teach concrete strategies for noticing triggering thoughts, testing those thoughts, and trying different behaviors. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and managing reactive responses.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will help identify whether listening-focused sessions, CBT skill work, or a mix of both fits the client’s needs and goals. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins, or let them meet without commuting. Talk through scheduling and practical preferences during the matching questionnaire and first session to find arrangements that fit everyday life.
