About Angela

Angela Franklin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with a decade of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused strategies to help clients examine thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and develop practical coping skills. Her training includes a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix.

Angela emphasizes a respectful, compassionate approach and partners with clients to create individualized plans that reflect each person’s needs and goals. She guides clients through identifying stressors and practicing concrete techniques aimed at increasing resilience and balance.

Her work includes support for challenges such as trauma and grief, relationship and family concerns, addictions, parenting difficulties, career-related stress, bipolar mood management, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Clients who engage with Angela can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on developing usable skills for everyday life.

She views therapy as a process of exploration and growth, offering steady guidance as people take steps toward healthier routines, improved coping, and greater emotional well-being.

Applying Evidence-Based Approaches to Online Care

Angela integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they explore values, emotions, and goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela works with each person to determine which methods fit their concerns, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The emphasis is on working together to develop practical skills and realistic steps that support day-to-day functioning and longer term change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without rearranging major parts of daily life, and they allow therapy to continue during transitional periods or when in-person meetings are not feasible.
