About Carla
LPC in Missouri with 24 years of clinical experience, Carla Frankoviglia-Gilfry helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and self-esteem challenges. She also focuses on coping with life changes, body image, communication problems, workplace issues, and midlife questions.
Carla uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions emphasize practical strategies and clear steps rather than abstract theory. She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and build steady coping skills.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations typically examine specific problems, identify what’s keeping them going, and try manageable experiments to change them. Mindfulness exercises and CBT tools are used when they fit the concern and the person’s preferences.
Carla pays particular attention to issues that commonly affect women, including self-love, body image, and transitions in midlife. She also addresses workplace stress and communication difficulties, helping clients sort priorities and set practical boundaries.
People who choose her work through a subscription model should expect clear, goal-oriented sessions that connect to everyday life. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.

How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s own goals guide the work. It is useful when someone needs clearer direction or to feel heard while weighing options.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem because it targets practical patterns people can change between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and how a strategy works in daily life. That choice can shift as progress unfolds.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness practices or CBT worksheets between meetings to build skills in day-to-day settings.
