About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other challenges that interrupt daily life.
Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at people looking for practical support and clearer direction. She listens first to understand each person’s story and priorities. From there she tailors sessions to fit specific needs, whether someone is coping with grief, parenting strain, career changes, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem.
How Elizabeth works
She pays attention to how symptoms affect everyday routines and relationships. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build different habits.
Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track progress in concrete steps. Dr. Franklin brings two decades of experience to conversations about trauma, bipolar disorder, addictive behaviors, and adjustment after major life events.
She also addresses concerns such as body image, communication problems, caregiving stress, and forgiveness. Her approach is practical and goal-oriented while remaining respectful of each person’s background. People who prefer clear goals, simple tools, and steady guidance often find her approach useful.
Sessions emphasize doable changes and skills that can be applied between meetings to make daily life feel more manageable.

How these approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s view and building a respectful relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to set the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change feelings and routines. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress when concrete steps are needed. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and simple, measurable changes that can be tried between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress is made. Sessions typically blend listening, skill-building, and action plans so clients know what to practice between meetings.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video lets people keep visual connection, phone calls can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quicker check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between meetings. These options increase flexibility and make it possible to maintain regular contact while working toward concrete changes.
