About Sophia Franklin

Sophia Franklin is a Georgia-based licensed clinical social worker and life coach with over 12 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She holds the credentials LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and CSW, which stands for Clinical Social Worker. Her clinical background includes work with depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, relationship struggles, career concerns, and anger management, as well as supporting individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Originally from Mississippi, she emphasizes building strong rapport so that trust is established before goals are discussed. Growing up in the South shaped a practice grounded in respect, and years spent working with people experiencing homelessness and those without insurance strengthened her commitment to seeing each person for who they are rather than what they are facing in the moment. Her method blends cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and solution-focused techniques, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to align with each person’s specific needs.

She views the decision to pursue change as a courageous step and offers steady support along the way. Sophia aims to ensure clients feel heard, gain practical tools, and feel empowered as they move toward improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sophia Franklin integrates practical therapeutic methods into online sessions to address a variety of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues and provides concrete skills for coping and problem solving. Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves by separating a person from their problems, which can be useful for addressing trauma, identity concerns, and relationship challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and setting achievable goals so clients can make steady progress toward the changes they want to see.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sophia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so techniques are meaningful and practical for each individual.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make consistent care more accessible for people with busy lives or mobility limits. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their chosen location while maintaining continuity of care and working toward measurable goals with licensed professionals.
