About Frankye
Frankye Johnson is a social worker and marriage and family therapist licensed in Indiana. She brings 40 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping adults make real changes in their lives. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are.
Her work centers on common stresses of adult life. She helps with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, anger, career shifts, and coping with life changes. Relationship concerns and compassion fatigue are also frequent topics she addresses.
Background and approach
Frankye prefers to work with adults over 25 who are ready to do the work needed for change. She especially welcomes clients who want straightforward guidance and steady support through transitions. She draws on long experience to offer practical steps and honest feedback.
Her style is open and nonjudgmental. Sessions aim to let people share thoughts and feelings without pressure. She listens closely and then offers tools to try between meetings.
In sessions she may use client-centered approaches alongside cognitive techniques and solution-focused methods. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find and keep momentum toward their goals. Her practice is grounded in years of direct clinical work in Indiana.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people lead the conversation about their goals. It’s useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect mood and behavior. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest one or a mix of methods. This collaborative planning helps match techniques to what actually works for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text are useful for shorter updates, reflection between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make scheduling and continuing care more flexible for adults juggling work, family, and other commitments.
