Background and approach

She values straightforward guidance and steady support. Over 40 years, she has helped people with stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem and motivation. She also works on issues related to relationships, grief, anger, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, caregiving strain, codependency, communication problems, and midlife concerns. Frankye brings attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and matters tied to aging and fatherhood when relevant. She uses a mix of well-known therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

The practical aim is clearer thinking, small achievable steps, and better daily coping. For parents and caregivers seeking guidance, she offers straightforward help with family and life transitions. Her long experience aims to make the process feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and respected and is useful when someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and small behavior changes that often improve mood and reduce anxiety. It is practical and goal-minded, which suits problems like stress, low mood, and self-esteem issues.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. She will work with clients to agree on goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are normal - the plan can change as progress is made or issues shift over time.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and allow follow-up between meetings when useful. For many people, remote sessions let them get timely support from licensed professionals without long travel or time off work.

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.
