About Emma
Emma Franke is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering a steady, straightforward presence and practical steps.

She believes people know their own story and brings patience while helping them find what works for them. In sessions she listens first and helps clients set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Emma uses plain language and concrete tools so conversations lead to real change. She often supports people coping with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress. She also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around identity and coming out in LGBT contexts.
Her background includes six years of clinical work in Ohio, where she helped individuals manage worry, process difficult experiences, and build confidence. Emma emphasizes strengths and encourages small, manageable steps toward better routines and relationships. She aims to make progress feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
Clients can expect collaborative sessions that balance talking with practical strategies. Emma helps unpack patterns like codependency, control issues, and attachment wounds, and then works on clearer communication and healthier boundaries. She supports people navigating divorce, family problems, or caregiver stress.
Emma approaches change as a gradual process that relies on the client’s goals. She offers guidance while keeping the client’s voice central. For someone ready to try therapy, she provides steady support and tools to move forward.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emma often uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this helps with stress, panic, and worry. Another approach centers on processing difficult experiences in small, supported steps so trauma and abuse-related memories feel less overwhelming and daily functioning improves.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling flexible. Video calls let people cover material close to an in-person visit. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter exercises, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people access therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort.
