About Kelly
Kelly Franklin is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Kelly aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.
She creates a direct, judgment-free space for clients to talk about what matters most to them. Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life problems like family conflict, parenting decisions, and everyday stressors.
Background and approach
She helps clients name patterns, try small changes, and notice what helps most in day-to-day life. Kelly brings ten years of professional experience as a Missouri licensed counselor, LPC. That background includes supporting people through anxiety, panic, and ADHD-related challenges.
She also addresses issues such as attachment, caregiver stress, communication problems, and workplace or life-purpose concerns. Parents often come with questions about setting limits, reducing household tension, and boosting a child’s or their own confidence. Kelly listens for what is working and where change is wanted, then partners with clients to make achievable plans.
Her style is steady, practical, and focused on skills that can be tried between sessions. She offers sessions in English and works with clients in Missouri. Kelly uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and therapy can be scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire.
Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online
Kelly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common method helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic. It involves identifying anxious thoughts, trying small behavioral changes, and practicing calming strategies to reduce intensity over time.Another useful approach targets family and parenting challenges. This work focuses on clear communication, setting consistent limits, and creating routines that reduce conflict. The aim is to try realistic steps that improve daily interactions at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to each person’s goals and preferences and collaborate to choose or adapt methods that feel like a good fit. Together they will set simple goals and adjust plans based on what is working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. These options make it easier to schedule around school, work, and parenting duties and to continue progress when life gets busy. Kelly uses these formats to keep therapy practical and focused on solutions that can be used between sessions.
