Erin Franklin, LPC | Couples and Individual Counseling — Marriage or relationship counselor in Austin, TX

I had the opportunity to meet Erin during training for Relational Life Therapy (RLT), and it quickly became clear that she is a talented, honest, and direct therapist. She brings a depth of insight and skill to her work, balancing compassion with a no-nonsense approach that helps clients move forward. What stands out about Erin is her commitment to ongoing growth—she actively works to refine her skills and deepen her expertise, which is a hallmark of a truly qualified therapist. A great couples therapist creates a space where both partners feel heard while also holding them accountable. They recognize destructive patterns and help shift them, guiding couples toward healthier dynamics with clarity and care. Erin embodies these qualities, making her an exceptional couples therapist for those seeking meaningful change in their relationships. If you’re looking for a therapist who is both supportive and direct—someone who won’t just nod along but will challenge you to grow—Erin is a great choice.

I often refer to Erin for couples therapy, and I have heard wonderful feedback from couples I have sent her way. She is at the top of my list for couples in blended families. Working on your relationship not only brings you closer and makes you stronger, but it heals old relational wounds. Erin is right. Relationships do heal.

Erin is a compassionate and highly skilled therapist. She’s incredibly dedicated to the work and her clients- I have no doubt any couple will achieve their goals with her guidance.

Her professionalism, empathy, and expertise have guided countless couples through some of the toughest challenges in their relationships. Erin has the ability to listen attentively and offer insightful perspectives that resonate deeply with her clients. She creates a safe space where couples can openly communicate and address underlying issues with confidence and trust. Erin's approach is not only effective but also uniquely tailored to each couple's needs, ensuring personalized guidance and support. In her sessions, she demonstrates exceptional skill in facilitating difficult but productive conversations, and providing practical tools to improve communication and deepen connection.
