About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Franklin is a KS LSCSW with four years of clinical experience based in Kansas. He works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, trauma and self-esteem concerns. He also focuses on issues like attachment, abandonment, codependency, loneliness, and men's concerns.
Jeffrey uses practical conversation and structured techniques rather than jargon. He listens for patterns in relationships and behavior, then helps people test small changes they can try between sessions. Sessions often include work on thoughts, values, and steps toward clearer choices.
He uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment approaches, and he also employs EMDR for trauma-related symptoms when appropriate. He brings these practices together to address emotional pain and difficult memories in concrete ways.
Jeffrey aims to be straightforward about goals and next steps. He helps people break big problems into manageable pieces, such as improving communication, reducing panic or worry, or stabilizing mood. He also supports practical concerns like money stress and the pressure of early adulthood decisions.
People who do best with him tend to want clear tools and honest feedback. Jeffrey works in English in Kansas and does not accept international clients. If someone is unsure whether he fits their needs, the site questionnaire and initial scheduling step can help clarify next steps.
How ACT, CBT and EMDR can translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions that align with those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and uncertainty about life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits, which is useful for social anxiety, worry, and mood problems.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that addresses disturbing memories and the emotions tied to them. When used, it combines focused memory work with guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then suggest methods to try. That plan is revisited and adjusted as progress is made so the approach stays practical and relevant.
