About Emma
Emma Franke is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation. She emphasizes the client as the expert in their story and aims to offer steady support while people work toward clearer goals.
Emma's style is straightforward and practical. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps clients identify strengths, set manageable steps, and try out new ways of handling difficult moments.
Background and approach
Conversations often include skill practice and planning for everyday challenges. Her background includes several years working with adults on mood concerns, coping with life changes, and navigating problems related to addiction, grief, and intimacy. She also addresses parenting concerns and caregiver stress by helping people build routines and strategies that reduce overwhelm.
Emma works with concerns related to attachment, abandonment, body image, and communication problems. She brings experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, divorce, and family of origin issues. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and practical coping rather than focusing only on past events.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach. Emma listens for what matters most and helps shape a plan that fits each person's life. She frames progress as gradual and rooted in everyday changes that add up over time.

How Emma Uses Practical Therapies Online
Emma draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life change. One common approach she uses helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and practicing those skills between sessions. Another approach centers on building healthier communication and attachment patterns by identifying unhelpful habits and rehearsing new ways of relating in everyday situations.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Emma works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans as needed so the work remains relevant to the client’s life and challenges.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief updates, homework check-ins, or support between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
