About Franklin
Franklin Chapman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with three years of professional experience. He works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, anger, challenges in intimacy, and difficulties with career and life transitions. He also focuses on issues such as commitment, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Franklin approaches sessions assuming people know their own story. He treats clients as the experts on their lives and looks for strengths to draw on during work together. In practical terms that means listening first, then offering tools that fit the problem at hand.
He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the client says matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help notice thoughts and feelings without getting swallowed by them.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on solving the immediate problem while also building longer-term coping. Franklin encourages clear goals and regular check-ins about progress. He invites clients to try things between sessions and to bring back what did or did not work.
People who come because of guilt or shame often work on practical steps toward forgiveness, repair where possible, and rebuilding a sense of self that feels whole again. Franklin keeps language simple and actions concrete so clients can use what they learn in day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Franklin commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy involves following the client's concerns and priorities, giving space to tell the story, and responding to what emerges. It is helpful when someone needs to sort out feelings and decide what matters most next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It suits problems like anxiety, anger, and guilt that respond to practical experiments and step-by-step challenges. Mindfulness Therapy is also used to help notice thoughts and bodily reactions without being driven by them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm current session options before booking to see which formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, review experiments between meetings, and keep momentum between in-person visits when needed.
