Willie is a great listener, and helps me identify the areas that will bring me the most healing, and also the next steps to get there. The process of therapy is not easy. She holds me accountable, but also understands that sometimes, I am being too ambitious in taking the next step, and she helps me to understand the next step that may be right for now. She has been a trusted advisor during a difficult time.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s amazing and so comforting with great insights
Willie is awesome! She’s patient, she pays attention to what has been discussed previously and helps identifies behaviors you may not be aware of. I feel as if my anxiety has gone down quite a bit since working with her!
Willie is the best counselor I’ve ever had. She’s empathetic and actively listens. She takes notes and asks thoughtful questions to understand the emotions and motivations behind what I’m saying. I feel very safe and encouraged to be open with her about my life and what is happening. She does an amazing job of balancing validating my feelings while also challenging me to confront or question unhealthy beliefs and patterns. I would highly recommend Willie for any counseling!
Willie Franklyn is an amazing counselor. At a time where everyone is suffering in one way or another due to the pandemic, I feel confident that I will thrive through these tough times and come out strong. With the suppot I have been receiving from this phenomenal woman, I feel limitless!
Wille is absolutely great! She listens to me very well and she is kind. I feel full of positive energy after each session and definitely more motivated to cope. I feel calm to share my experiences and her responses and questions definitely make me reflect better and look at the situation differently. Thanks Willie!
