How Franklin's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a respectful working relationship. This approach helps people feel understood and safe enough to talk about stressful topics, difficult feelings, and relationship strains.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, mood problems, or patterns that get in the way of relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Franklin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals change or progress is made.
