Dr. Janine Franklin

Therapist

Virtual • California


My approach to therapy is compassionate, and empowering. I believe meaningful change happens when my clients feel genuinely heard and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My style is warm, authentic, and practical, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, build on strengths, and create sustainable change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practices. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, whether that means addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and insightful. I see therapy as a partnership, one where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and balance so you can move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person

5000 Birch Street, Newport Beach, CA

I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where I walk alongside you rather than ahead of you. For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, substance use, chronic pain, and life transitions. My background in clinical psychology, along with board certification in biofeedback and neurofeedback, allows me to integrate both psychological and physiological approaches to healing. Most importantly, I deeply respect the uniqueness of your lived experience and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered.
