Monique Franklin, LCSW

Monique Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and changes like grief or caregiver stress. She frames therapy around empowerment and self-discovery to help clients build resilience and clearer personal goals.

Her sessions emphasize practical steps and honest conversation. She uses approaches that help people rework unhelpful thoughts and try focused, goal-oriented solutions. The aim is to strengthen self-esteem, improve communication, and manage anxiety, depression, anger, and bipolar-related concerns.

Monique brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She draws on that background when supporting people through forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the pressures of parenting or caregiving. Her practice attends to both daily stress and longer-term patterns that affect relationships and well-being.

She describes her therapeutic stance as collaborative and respectful. Clients are invited to set priorities and try strategies that match their values and pace. Progress is tracked through concrete changes, not promises of a specific outcome.

Monique works in Indiana and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking so they know what options are available.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain. CBT sessions break problems into manageable parts and teach strategies to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and practice small steps that lead to quick improvements. This approach is useful for specific problems like communication issues, caregiving stress, or coping with life changes where concrete progress matters.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what is helpful. Clients and therapist work together to find the best fit over the first few sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or meetings that focus on skill practice rather than lengthy visits. The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
