About Lori
Lori Franklin is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage difficult emotions. She focuses on practical ways to handle anger, grief, trauma, and depression. Lori aims to make first steps feel less overwhelming for people who are worried or unsure about starting therapy.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hardest. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning new coping skills, and finding small, doable changes that reduce daily stress.
Background and approach
Lori helps people untangle intense feelings so they can think more clearly about next steps. Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, and helping people after loss. Parents who feel stuck by parenting stress can work on communication, boundaries, and self-care.
Lori also addresses related concerns like guilt, shame, isolation, body image, and issues around forgiveness. She works in California and speaks English. Lori offers flexible contact methods so conversations can fit into busy lives.
Her goal is straightforward: help people feel more in control of their reactions and better able to handle hard moments. Starting is simple and direct. Lori invites people to take the initial step and complete a short matching questionnaire to find a schedule that works.
From there she helps shape therapy around the person's priorities and pace.
What Lori works with
Everything Lori lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Lori's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many of Lori's methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage strong emotions and rebuild everyday routine. One common approach she uses teaches skills to identify triggers and change unhelpful reactions, which can be useful for anger, panic, and mood struggles. Another approach emphasizes processing difficult memories and learning safer ways to respond to stress, which helps people impacted by trauma and abuse.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lori collaborates with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as needs change. The process is gradual and tailored, with a focus on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for real-time conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send messages between sessions or have brief check-ins without being on camera. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels.
