Getting to know Carolyn Franklin
I am Carolyn Franklin, a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago. I bring over 30 years of experience as a skilled therapist working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have conducted individual, group, couples, and family therapies, supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, and many other concerns. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
My approach
To help my clients reach their goals, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities. Clients have responded well to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Supportive Psychotherapy, client-centered therapy, and more. I use a strength-based approach that allows clients to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.
My focus
I truly enjoy my work, and my clients have been successful. I have worked with individuals challenged by anxiety, depression, relationship and family adjustments, and even those struggling with decision-making. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and for you.
My communication style
Clients find me very supportive and easy to talk to. I create an environment of acceptance where clients feel comfortable sharing their feelings and concerns. I support my clients as they navigate their therapy journey.
My journey to therapy
I am an effective communicator with an innate ability to make clients feel at ease. I genuinely enjoy working with my clients-it is my life's work. I believe everyone has the right to enjoy life, find peace, be accepted, and overcome challenges. I became a therapist to continue my commitment to improving life circumstances for all.
My goals for you
Goal setting is client-directed. Clients come to therapy for many reasons, and after exploring their concerns, I work with them to set goals that help them feel better and ultimately find peace with their situations.
