About Willie
Willie Franklyn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Parents will find practical support for day-to-day parenting challenges and guidance for making needed changes.
She has 18 years of clinical experience working with adults facing depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her work centers on helping people learn skills they can use right away.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize manageable steps rather than long-term theory-heavy plans. Willie often helps people navigate transitions such as job change, grief, or shifting family roles. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address attention difficulties like ADHD and to build coping skills for anger and low self-esteem.
She also supports clients from LGBT communities with respect and understanding. Appointments are offered in the evenings and on Saturday mornings to accommodate busy schedules. Therapy can include short-term coaching-style work or longer conversations depending on what a person needs.
The goal is clear: increase well-being and develop tools to handle problems when they come up. Willie encourages straightforward talk and realistic goals. She helps people make step-by-step plans for change.
Sessions focus on skills that fit into daily life and parenting routines.

How her approaches translate to online care
Willie relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable steps. One approach emphasizes building coping strategies for anxiety and stress through short exercises and practice tasks that can be done between sessions. Another approach targets behavior and routine changes to help with ADHD, low mood, and parenting stress by creating simple plans and small habit shifts that fit daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This is a cooperative process where the client’s needs guide which techniques are used.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let you talk face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or Saturday mornings and to keep momentum while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
