About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and codependency. Elizabeth works directly with adults who are juggling caregiving, career demands, or major life changes.
Her style is down-to-earth and problem-focused. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions often include practical steps drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and short-term solution planning.
Elizabeth uses Client-Centered Therapy to build conversations that follow the client's priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small achievable goals and track progress between sessions.
People who come to her for codependency concerns often want clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, and more emotional balance. She helps clients notice automatic reactions and practice concrete boundary-setting skills that fit their everyday life.
Her background across two decades includes work with grief, trauma, parenting stress, and substance problems. Sessions combine listening, practical skill practice, and brief behavioral experiments aimed at making daily life more manageable. Prospective clients who want straightforward steps and real-world tools often find this approach useful.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around those priorities. It helps people who need to sort out values, clarify feelings, and decide what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is used to spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and reduce anxiety or low mood through specific exercises.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to small, achievable steps and measures progress quickly. It is useful when someone wants concrete, short-term gains like clearer boundaries or fewer conflict-driven reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match the client's goals, daily demands, and comfort level. That means discussing what feels doable and changing course if something isn't working.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let clients choose how to participate in a way that fits their day.
