Kelly FranklinLPC

Kelly Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people managing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, and low self-esteem. She welcomes conversations about pregnancy and childbirth as part of a larger picture of life change and adjustment.

Kelly works to create an open space where clients can talk without fear of judgment. Sessions aim to help people sort through immediate worries, build confidence, and find clearer ways to handle daily demands. She pays attention to how relationships, work, and caregiving roles shape stress and mood.

Her approach centers on listening first, then choosing strategies that fit each person’s needs. That might mean breaking problems into small steps, practicing new ways to communicate, or finding routines that reduce overwhelm. Kelly emphasizes practical tools clients can use between sessions.

Kelly’s background includes a decade of clinical work in Missouri as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Over that time she has supported people dealing with panic, trauma reactions, attention differences such as ADHD, and workplace pressure. She also helps those navigating control issues, impulsivity, and questions of life purpose.

People who choose Kelly often want calm, direct guidance and problem-solving they can apply right away. To start, she asks about current struggles and goals, then tailors the plan to what matters most to the person in front of her.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they save commute time, allow sessions during breaks, and can be shorter check-ins when that works better. Licensed professionals can use different ways of meeting, and Kelly will help determine what format best supports your goals.
