Angela Franklin

Angela Franklin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Angela listens closely and works with each person to find practical steps forward.

She earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and has used that background across clinical work. Her approach is straightforward: understand thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and see how they affect day-to-day life. She explains what is happening and helps clients try new ways of coping.

In sessions Angela guides clients to identify patterns that cause distress. She introduces coping skills and practices those skills together so they become useful habits. The goal is greater balance, clearer thinking, and better daily functioning.

Angela draws on evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and strength-based solution-focused work. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Her style is calm, respectful, and compassionate. She frames therapy as a partnership and supports people as they take steps toward change. If someone is ready to explore what’s causing distress and wants relief, Angela helps them make a clear plan and practice new skills.

How Angela’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people make sense of their feelings to find their own solutions. This approach suits concerns like stress, grief, and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors or coping skills that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which many people find helpful when managing anger or daily stressors.

Motivational interviewing helps the person find internal reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen commitment to new habits, useful for addictions, motivation, and making life changes.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning is revisited as progress is made so the approach can be adjusted.
