About Stephanie
Stephanie Franklin is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people navigate life’s hard moments. She centers sessions on each person’s own strengths and perspective. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.
Stephanie draws on client-centered therapy to listen closely and help clients shape goals that matter to them. She pairs that with practical cognitive behavioral therapy techniques when people want tools to manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, or anger.
Background and approach
Sessions are geared toward clear steps rather than abstract talk. She has worked with people facing relationship tensions, family conflict, and parenting strain. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and major life changes like divorce or separation.
Additional focuses include self-esteem, isolation, guilt, and learning to practice self-love. Stephanie is based in Texas and holds the LCSW credential, which reflects her clinical background in social work. She uses straightforward language and aims to keep sessions practical and respectful of each person’s pace.
People who choose her often want help improving communication, handling control issues, or coping with ADHD-related challenges. Her approach balances listening with concrete strategies to reduce anger, worry, and overwhelm. Therapy with Stephanie typically moves at the client’s speed while building real skills for daily life.
She supports people as they try new ways of handling stress and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and treating the person as the expert of their own life. In this approach the therapist reflects what the client says and helps them set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process is flexible and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick updates or reflections between meetings. These options help people connect from different settings and keep care consistent when schedules shift.
