About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Franklin is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas with four years of clinical experience. He sees adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Jeffrey lists life purpose among his focus areas and helps people thinking about direction and meaning after change.
In sessions he takes a collaborative, practical approach. He asks clear questions, listens for patterns, and checks what is working for each person. He draws on methods such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral techniques, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address symptoms and habits that get in the way of daily life.
Jeffrey also pays attention to problems that often appear alongside those concerns. These include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, impulsivity, loneliness, and challenges tied to fatherhood, money, or men's issues. He will talk through relationship patterns and communication difficulties with a focus on concrete next steps.
His style aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life feel more manageable. Sessions can include guided exercises, skills practice, and focused conversations about values and priorities. He works in English and provides services in Kansas.
To begin, prospective clients follow the practice's online intake path to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jeffrey draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that are straightforward and goal-oriented. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and practicing small actions that align with those values, which can help when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters next. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful patterns.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address distress tied to traumatic memories. EMDR involves focused processing of past events to reduce their emotional intensity and can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress or lingering trauma symptoms. These approaches are offered as tools to try, not promises of a specific result.
Deciding which method to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they will pick approaches or combine techniques and adjust based on how the work is progressing.

In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time, which helps maintain consistency while balancing work and family obligations.
