How Franklin works

He encourages small, achievable actions that add up over time. The approach is steady, direct, and focused on everyday improvements. People who choose him can expect straightforward communication and a focus on what helps in real life.
He supports clients as they set goals, try new ways of handling problems, and track progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Franklin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear problem solving and practical coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This helps when worry or low self-esteem leads to avoidance and negative self-talk.Another approach centers on building coping skills and pacing through life changes or after traumatic events. It teaches step-by-step strategies for managing overwhelming feelings, improving sleep and daily routines, and returning to valued activities. These strategies aim to make everyday life feel more manageable.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use facial cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, progress notes, or short exercises between longer sessions, giving flexibility for busy schedules.
