Kwesi Franco, LPC

Kwesi Franco is an LPC who focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits shape feelings and choices. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. His style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with respectful guidance and practical steps.

He works with concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and fatherhood topics, LGBT-related matters, anger, low self-esteem, and career questions. He also addresses less common areas such as kink and alternative sex culture, blended family and family-of-origin issues, commitment and control struggles, and feelings of isolation or guilt.

In sessions he looks at core thoughts and long-standing beliefs. He helps clients see how those patterns shaped past choices and affect life now. Conversations also explore where patterns may have come from so change feels grounded and understandable.

The therapist invites the client to steer the work and sets a pace that fits their comfort. He offers guidance, suggests experiments to try between sessions, and checks progress together. That mix of thought-focused reflection and small practical steps aims to move concerns into clearer, manageable patterns.

Kwesi holds the LPC credential and practises in Georgia. He speaks English and uses a counseling approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

How CBT and thought-focused work translate to online therapy

CBT emphasizes noticing thoughts, testing them, and changing small behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to manage worry, low mood, anger, and relationship patterns by shifting thinking and trying new actions. This makes it well suited to short exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice.

The therapist also focuses on everyday habits and how they shape feelings. That means sessions often involve identifying routine responses, planning experiments to try in daily life, and reviewing results together. These practical steps fit a collaborative process where the client and therapist choose pace and priorities together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods best match each person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as progress is tracked.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online or in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like worksheets and screen-shared materials during a session. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises to whatever format is arranged to help with everyday thinking and habit change.
