Franklin Moore, LCMHC

Franklin Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. He combines straightforward, practical work with a warm, person-centered manner. Franklin aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the ripple effects of life changes. He brings six years of counseling experience in community health settings, plus many additional years in related mental health roles. That background shaped his focus on real-world problems like communication breakdowns, parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, and coping with chronic illness or disability. In sessions Franklin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns. He pairs that with a client-centered approach that emphasizes acceptance and strong therapeutic rapport. Together these methods guide short-term skills work alongside deeper conversations about values and meaning. Franklin often assigns simple, practical exercises between meetings. Tasks might include testing a belief, trying a new behavior, or practicing a communication skill. He frames homework as small steps that make daily life feel more manageable. People who choose him can expect straightforward language, clear goals, and collaboration on what to try next. Franklin focuses on building tools for coping, improving relationships, and reducing symptoms so daily responsibilities feel easier to handle.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Franklin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against daily experience; this approach is practical and often suits anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes acceptance and listening, creating a space where people can talk through hard issues and decide what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Franklin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. If a method does not feel right, he adjusts the plan together with the client so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visible cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can suit a midday check-in, live chat is good for shorter exchanges, and text messaging supports quick updates or brief skills practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while focusing on concrete skills and steady progress.
