Raylene Franklin, LCSW

Raylene Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with 20 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, and life transitions, including issues related to codependency.

Raylene uses a person-centered style and describes herself as an easygoing coach. She focuses on practical steps people can take now, and she leans on solution-focused work to identify what helps in everyday life. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people regain confidence and clearer choices.

Her background includes extensive work with chemical dependency, hospice and end-of-life care, developmental disability supports, and people living with mental health challenges. That experience shaped her approach to problems like compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns.

Raylene integrates several therapy methods to match individual needs. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build a working relationship, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns, and Motivational Interviewing when change feels stalled. Emotionally-Focused ideas also inform how she addresses relationship pain and attachment patterns.

She also spent recent years providing life coaching to people navigating major transitions. That coaching work emphasizes small, achievable steps and building back confidence. People who want straightforward, practical conversations about boundaries, people-pleasing, and recovering a sense of self often seek this style.

Raylene works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details so the format fits daily life.
