About Kelly
Kelly Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and ADHD.

Kelly keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens and asks questions to clarify what is most pressing. Sessions focus on concrete steps and small changes that fit into everyday life.
Her approach centers on building trust and giving clients room to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable pieces and trying tools that can be practiced between sessions.
Kelly has spent a decade working with people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, and attachment concerns. She also supports those dealing with midlife transitions, pregnancy and childbirth related worries, and issues around control and impulsivity. Communication problems and finding life purpose are common topics.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style that emphasizes clear goals and steady progress. She encourages people who find social situations or speaking up hard to take small, doable steps toward what matters to them. The first session typically looks at immediate concerns and practical next steps.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Kelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments to reduce worry and social fear. Behavioral techniques encourage gradual exposure to feared situations in small steps to lessen avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kelly collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. This makes the process practical and client-centered rather than prescriptive.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. When booked, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, whether scheduling shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. Online sessions also let people try behavioral experiments that connect directly with real-world situations. Talk with Kelly during the matching process about how sessions can be arranged to suit your schedule and preferences.
