About Willie

Willie Franklyn is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel more in control and move forward. Sessions are offered in ways that fit busy schedules, including evenings and Saturday mornings.

Willie draws on 18 years of experience working with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, and the aftermath of abuse or violence.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. Her work often centers on clear, doable strategies rather than abstract theory. In sessions she helps clients break problems into manageable parts.

That can mean setting short-term goals, building coping skills for strong emotions, or trying new routines to improve daily functioning. She aims for concrete tools clients can use between visits. Willie makes space to talk through painful events and the practical fallout they cause.

She helps people develop ways to manage chronic pain, reduce overwhelm, and regain confidence after loss. The approach balances empathy with action steps that address immediate needs. Appointments are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Willie’s scheduling options and use of multiple formats are designed to help people fit care into work, parenting, and other obligations.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Willie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on skill building for emotional regulation and stress management, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning that can reduce anxiety and improve daily routine. Another commonly used method emphasizes goal setting and behavior change, breaking larger life changes into small action steps that are easier to follow and track.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest a plan that may combine techniques. This is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting, and other commitments.
