Frankye Johnson, LCSW, LMFT

Frankye Johnson is a licensed clinician in Indiana with four decades of professional clinical experience guiding adults through life transitions and emotional challenges. She holds the credentials LCSW and LMFT - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - which reflect training in clinical social work and in treating relationship and family dynamics. Over 40 years she has focused on issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, self-esteem and confidence, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

She prefers working with adults aged 25 and older who are ready to engage actively in the steps needed to create meaningful change. Her therapeutic work draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to build practical strategies and personal insight. In addition to core specialties, she addresses related areas including abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife concerns, multicultural issues, and prejudice and discrimination.

She especially enjoys working with Black/African American clients and aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed honestly. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and she recognizes and supports that decision while helping clients move toward the life changes they seek.
