About Angela

Angela Franklin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction issues, grief, and parenting challenges. Angela listens closely and works alongside clients to make sense of difficult feelings and find practical ways to feel better.

She earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. Angela uses straightforward methods to help clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.

Background and approach

She teaches coping skills and guides small, manageable steps toward change. Her approach draws on evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques. Angela adapts sessions to each person’s needs and focuses on strengths and real-life problem solving.

Parents and caregivers looking for help with family and parenting topics will find resources and practical strategies in her work. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and steady progress.

Angela aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk through what’s hard and practice new ways of coping. Taking the first step can feel big, and she offers steady guidance through that process.

Therapeutic methods suited to online care

Angela often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own goals and strengths and can help when someone is unsure about change or is working through addictions or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable, and then choose or adjust methods collaboratively. That way treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single style.

Online therapy is offered through several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow more consistent contact, and let people receive support from home or while traveling. Licensed professionals can teach coping skills, set practical goals, and provide regular check-ins using these tools to keep progress moving forward.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
