About Emma

Emma Franke is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with six years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Emma also supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and struggles with motivation and confidence.

She begins by listening to each person's story and finding their existing strengths. Emma treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set clear, manageable goals. Small steps and practical strategies are emphasized so progress feels real and sustainable.

In sessions she addresses a range of concerns including depression, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and body image. She also helps with parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or commitment problems that affect day-to-day life. Emma offers support for people coping with life changes, career stress, and bipolar disorder.

Her background includes focused work on abandonment and attachment issues, domestic violence, eating and food-related problems, and family of origin conflicts. She brings a direct, compassionate approach that aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. Emma encourages people to take the next step when they are ready and supports them through the change process.

Sessions are conducted in English and based in Ohio. To begin, prospective clients use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Emma’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Emma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify strengths and set small, doable goals to reduce anxiety and build confidence. This method is useful for stress, low motivation, and many day-to-day challenges.

Another frequently used technique focuses on processing past hurts and improving relationships by looking at attachment patterns and communication habits. That approach can help with trauma, abandonment concerns, intimacy issues, and family of origin problems by teaching clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods so they feel helpful. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, let people fit therapy around work or caregiving, and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a longer visit is hard to fit into the day. Licensed professionals can adapt these techniques to remote settings so therapy still focuses on practical progress and clearer communication.
