About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience in Missouri. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleep difficulties. She aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk about their worries and start practical changes.
Her work often centers on real-life problems like relationship strain, workplace stress, parenting pressures, grief, and big life transitions.

Sleeping problems are among the issues she addresses as part of everyday functioning and wellbeing.
Clinical approaches she uses include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions can involve listening closely to what matters to each person, identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and setting small, achievable goals. The style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with clear steps to try between sessions.
Dr. Franklin emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respect for each person's background. She often supports people coping with trauma, addiction, and major life shifts while keeping goals practical and manageable. Her goal is to help clients build skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
People seeking help begin by describing their immediate concerns and goals. From there she and the client choose approaches that fit the person’s situation, pacing, and comfort level.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to name problems like sleep disruption or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete skills people can use to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on practical goals and small steps that can lead to quick, measurable improvements.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels doable. Together they select strategies and adjust them over time so the work fits the client's life and pace.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make follow-up easier. Online sessions can also let someone try short check-ins or set manageable homework between meetings to support better sleep and daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to match individual goals and schedules.
