Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Elizabeth Franklin uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused strategies to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and listening - it creates space for individuals to explore their values and goals while the therapist follows the client s lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to address anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps - it helps people build concrete strategies for change without getting stuck on problems.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Dr. Franklin works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the techniques that feel most useful, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than applying a single method to every situation.

Online therapy with Dr. Franklin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations and to choose the communication style that fits daily life and therapeutic goals.
