About Frankye

Frankye Johnson brings 40 years of clinical experience to her work in Indiana. She combines practical therapeutic tools with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help people address stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background also includes supporting clients through grief, anger, career challenges, compassion fatigue, and relationship and family concerns. Johnson creates a space where adults can explore thoughts and feelings and take deliberate steps toward change.

Her practice often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods and motivational techniques to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. She also addresses a wide range of focused concerns including caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, aging and geriatric matters, fatherhood issues, and multicultural or discrimination-related struggles.

Johnson aims to collaborate with clients who are ready to engage in the work necessary to make meaningful shifts in their lives.

Practical Approaches for Online Change

Frankye Johnson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression, and then works with them to test and replace unhelpful thoughts with more adaptive ones. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance that supports clients as they explore feelings, values, and personal goals. These approaches are often combined with motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness for change and to clarify meaningful next steps.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses clients' goals, preferences, and daily realities to shape a plan that feels practical and relevant, adjusting methods as needed to match progress and emerging needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work from varied locations and to use brief or fuller session types depending on the client's situation and preferences.
