About Sophia
Sophia Franklin is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with more than 12 years of experience as a counselor and life coach.
Background and approach
She draws on a background that includes supporting people through depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, workplace stress, and relationship or intimacy challenges. Her practice emphasizes establishing a respectful, trusting connection before moving into goal work, reflecting a person-centered stance that honors each client's experiences and strengths.
Sophia blends cognitive behavioral techniques with narrative and solution-focused ideas, adapting conversations and plans to fit each client’s needs. Her years working with people experiencing homelessness and limited resources shaped a practical, nonjudgmental approach that looks beyond current circumstances.
She frames starting therapy as a courageous step and aims to provide steady support, active listening, and collaborative planning to help clients move toward their goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and priorities, offering empathy and reflective listening to help people clarify values and goals. This approach supports anyone facing life transitions, relationship concerns, or feelings of low self-worth by prioritizing the therapeutic relationship and the client’s direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to shift them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with mood or workplace challenges through structured exercises and collaborative problem solving.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Sophia approaches treatment collaboratively, adapting CBT, client-centered listening, or motivational elements as needed based on each person's goals, preferences, and progress. She will discuss options and tailor the plan so techniques fit the client's situation.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows scheduling flexibility and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work or family commitments and to use approaches like CBT worksheets or reflective dialogue in ways that suit the client's pace and daily life.
