Jeffrey Franklin

Jeffrey Franklin is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, trauma, and low self-esteem. He frames sessions around listening and practical steps so people feel heard and can try small changes between meetings.

He uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. EMDR is part of his toolkit. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s goals guide what happens in the room.

Jeffrey emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space. He states care and patience are central to his work and aims to move at each person’s pace. He also notes an interest in supporting issues tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and fatherhood concerns.

Clients may work on communication skills, coping for mood and anxiety problems, and rebuilding self-worth. He also addresses practical struggles like money stress and social anxiety through actionable steps and focused conversations.

Jeffrey has four years of clinical experience and practices in Kansas. He conducts therapy in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches work for online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the effects of traumatic events and helping people reduce distress tied to those memories. Work often includes grounding and pacing so difficult material is handled carefully and in manageable steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding motivation during transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and builds simple experiments to test new ways of responding. It is often used for mood, worry, and social anxiety problems.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether trauma-focused work, ACT, CBT, or a mix is the best fit and adjust as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit around work, parenting, or school. It can also allow shorter check-ins on busy days or let someone avoid travel time when juggling appointments.
