About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Missouri-licensed professional counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger.
Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at clear steps people can use outside sessions. She begins by listening to a person's story and identifying what matters most right now. Sessions often include goal setting and simple skills to reduce intense emotions.
Clients can expect straightforward tools they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Dr. Franklin draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the individual's needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused methods to build small, achievable changes.
These approaches are mixed to fit the problem at hand rather than following a single formula. Her background includes long-term work with people coping with trauma, addictions, grief, and major life changes. She helps people address relationship and communication problems, manage parenting stress, and regain confidence after setbacks.
Her practice also supports concerns like eating, sleeping, career questions, and attention challenges. People who prefer straightforward guidance and active coping strategies tend to do well with her. She works in English and practices from Missouri.
Sessions can use video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different schedules and needs.

How her approaches work online and in sessions
Dr. Franklin often uses client-centered therapy, which starts by listening and making space for a person's own goals. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the work around what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and habits by teaching ways to test thoughts and try new behaviors.
Solution-focused therapy is another tool she uses to build quick, achievable change. It focuses on strengths and small steps people can take right away to move toward their goals.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out what feels helpful and adjust the plan as goals change. That way the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can fit a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide a way to check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives.
