About Frankye
Frankye Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with forty years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, career challenges, and depression. Frankye prefers working with adults over 25 who are ready to make changes in their lives.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She listens for patterns in behavior and feeling, and helps people find concrete steps forward. Conversations are direct and respectful, aimed at reducing frustration and improving day-to-day coping.
Frankye draws on Client-Centered ideas to keep the person's goals central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone needs short-term clarity and action steps.
She notes a particular interest in working with Black and African American clients and with adults navigating midlife, caregiving pressures, or cultural stress. Frankye also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Sessions are geared toward practical problem solving rather than abstract discussion. People who come wanting clearer communication, less reactivity, or better ways to handle life changes often find this approach useful. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client says is most important. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and set their own direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses. This approach is useful for anger tied to stress, anxiety, or negative self-talk.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time. Clients and therapist work together to pick techniques that feel practical and doable.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the available session types and how they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Confirm the exact formats with the provider so sessions match your schedule and needs.
