I am Carolyn Franklin, a licensed clinical social worker. I am a skilled therapist with over 30 years in the profession, working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have conducted individual, group, couples, and family therapies. I have worked with clients challenged with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issue, and many other concerns. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
My approach
To assist my clients in reaching their goals, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities. My clients have responded to Cognitive Behavior therapy, Supportive Psychotherapy, client-centered therapy, and many more. I use a strength-based approach, which allows my clients to feel comfortable and supported.
My focus
I truly enjoy my work, and my clients have been successful. I worked with clients challenged with anxiety, depression, relationship/family adjustments, and even individuals having difficulty making decisions. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and for you.
My communication style
My clients find me to be very supportive and easy to talk to. I create an environment of acceptance, and clients are comfortable disclosing their feelings and concerns. My clients are supported as they navigate the therapy encounter.
My journey to mental healthcare
I am an effective communicator and have an innate ability to make clients feel comfortable. I totally enjoy working with my clients, and it is my life's work. I believe that everyone has the right to enjoy life, find peace, be accepted, and conquer challenges. I became a therapist to continue my commitment to improving life circumstances for all.
My goals for you
Goal setting is client-directed. My clients come to therapy for a variety of reasons. After processing the concern, I work with my clients to set goals that assist them in feeling better and ultimately finding peace with situations. I firmly believe that clients have a right to self-determination, and through therapy, the client can determine what's right for them.
My first session with you
During the first session, my goal is to begin establishing a rapport with my client. Therapy works best when the client feels that the therapist is someone they are comfortable with and can trust. I, therefore, create a warm, welcoming environment that allows the client to learn about the therapist and what to expect from the sessions.
