About Juanita

Juanita Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and family concerns. Her tone is warm and supportive, and she aims to make sessions feel respectful and down-to-earth for worried parents and adults.

She believes counseling can help during crises and for steady personal growth. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than using a single method.

Background and approach

Juanita draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match the situation and the client's goals. Her style is nonjudgmental and practical. She listens for what matters most, then works with clients to set clear, manageable steps.

That may include learning skills for emotion regulation, improving communication, or addressing past hurts that still affect daily life. Over two decades she has supported people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, attachment concerns, chronic illness and pain, and blended family challenges.

She also addresses less common or complex concerns such as antisocial and dependent personality features and disruptive mood symptoms. Juanita practices in Colorado and provides services in English. If you want to know more about how she structures sessions or which techniques might be used, it’s simple to start a conversation and see whether her approach fits your needs.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Juanita uses a few well-known, evidence-based techniques to guide work in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that align with what matters most, useful for motivation and coping. Trauma-informed practices emphasize safety and pacing while addressing past hurts so clients can build resilience without being overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust them over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to daily life.

If you prefer online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options when video isn’t convenient or bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help many people keep regular momentum toward their goals.
