About Raylene

Raylene Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Raylene also supports those facing addiction, grief, trauma, caregiver strain, and career or parenting challenges.

She uses a person-centered, coaching style that aims to meet people where they are. Sessions often focus on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Raylene draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to build momentum and clarify goals.

With 20 years in the field, Raylene brings experience in hospice and end-of-life care, chemical dependency, and work with people who have developmental or physical disabilities. Her background also includes supporting those with bipolar disorder, ADHD, social anxiety, and seasonal mood shifts.

Her approach is direct but gentle, encouraging small changes that add up. She listens first, then helps people identify next steps they can actually use. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, realistic goals, and ongoing adjustment of the plan as needed.

Raylene believes confidence can be rebuilt. She focuses on practical tools for self-love, healthier coping, and clearer decision making. People seeking help for self-esteem or life transitions can work with her to set achievable goals and track progress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and values their choices. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide their next steps. This approach works well for self-esteem and life transitions because it centers the person’s own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that hold someone back from feeling confident.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raylene will partner with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. She combines listening with practical strategies and adjusts plans as progress is made.
