Franklin Moore, LCMHC

Franklin Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. He uses a person-centered approach paired with cognitive behavioral tools to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns. He aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where people can talk about what matters and try practical steps that fit their lives.

Franklin has six years of formal counseling experience and many more years working in community mental health settings. He has worked with adolescents and adults and has long experience as a Qualified Professional in community care. That background shaped his focus on clear communication and real-world strategies.

In sessions he blends client-centered listening with CBT techniques. He helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test them, and practice different behaviors between sessions. He also borrows useful tools from reality and existential approaches when they fit the issue.

People often come for help with family or parenting stress, relationship strain, grief, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career or self-esteem concerns. He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, disability, communication problems, divorce or separation, and issues around identity and self-love.

Franklin presents therapy as a collaborative process. He focuses on building a strong working relationship and practical steps that clients can try outside sessions. He encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to track progress.

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist creates space for people to describe their concerns and sets collaborative goals based on each person's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful ear and clear guidance for next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice different responses, and try short exercises between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and trauma-related stress.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether more client-centered work, CBT techniques, or a mix makes the most sense. Goals, preferences, and everyday demands all shape that choice, and plans can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or family obligations. They can also let people try brief check-ins or homework-focused sessions when that fits their needs.
