About Frankye
Frankye Johnson is a licensed therapist practicing in Indiana with four decades of clinical experience. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential and draws on long experience to help people facing hard moments.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She aims for a straightforward, down-to-earth style in sessions.
Frankye listens first, then helps people set small, practical steps toward change. She encourages honest talk about feelings like shame, grief, anger, and loneliness so they feel less overwhelming.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps clients name what matters most, then chooses strategies that fit each person’s day-to-day life.
That might include looking at unhelpful thoughts, finding short-term goals that build momentum, or talking through how to handle difficult relationships. Frankye has particular familiarity with concerns tied to caregiving, aging, codependency, and midlife transitions.
She also attends to cultural stressors, prejudice, and the burdens that can come from caregiving or compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she works with adults who are ready to take active steps toward change.
The first steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits the client’s timing. Frankye keeps language plain and direct so people can focus on solutions.
Her long experience means she can draw on many ways to help, while keeping the work practical and grounded.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with feelings like emptiness, shame, or low self-worth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhealthy patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then use one or a mix of approaches that fit the person's situation. This decision is made together so clients feel comfortable with the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, manage work or caregiving demands, and keep steady progress without extra travel.
