Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Dr. Franklin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This helps people manage day-to-day stress and improve mood by trying new responses to familiar triggers.

Another common method focuses on emotional processing and coping after trauma or painful life events. It guides people to name difficult feelings, understand how those feelings affect behavior, and practice ways to feel steadier in stressful moments. These techniques can also help with relationship and attachment concerns by clarifying patterns and trying different communication steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adapt methods to fit the individual. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what the person needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, reflection between sessions, or when written conversation feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
