Hi, my name is Jestina Franks, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. I provide virtual counseling services to patients in Texas. I have extensive experience assisting individuals with issues including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, sexuality, and intimacy concerns. My approach I approach therapy from a client-centered perspective. In our sessions, I aim to impart positive coping skills that you can use both inside and outside of therapy. I strongly believe that clients should feel empowered to make the most of their new skills. My focus My style and approach are a good fit for young adults and adults seeking support with life challenges and social pressures. I typically focus on anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, intimacy, alternative relationships, and sexual health concerns. My communication style My communication is firm and direct. My goal is not to give advice but to help you explore multiple sides of a situation and decide what is best for your life. My journey to therapy My career spans community health services, juvenile justice, school districts, and private practice. I enjoy helping others and witnessing people become the best versions of themselves. My goals for you You are in charge of your therapy goals, and I will walk alongside you to support you on your journey. Goals may change over time, and that's okay-we will work together toward whatever new goals arise. My first session with you The first session is about building a relationship and addressing your reasons for starting therapy. It's a time for me to learn about you and for you to understand my therapy style. There is no pressure-I want you to feel comfortable as we begin this journey together.
