About Carla Frankoviglia-Gilfry

As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth with empathy and expertise.

I specialize in supporting women through transformative life stages, focusing on self-esteem, communication, workplace challenges, and midlife transitions. My approach is deeply attuned to the unique experiences of individuals seeking to understand themselves more deeply and cultivate meaningful personal change.

My therapeutic work emphasizes self-love, body image healing, and helping clients discover their sense of purpose. I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner landscape, develop resilient coping strategies, and build more authentic, fulfilling lives.

Through collaborative and personalized counseling, I’m committed to walking alongside you as you navigate your personal growth journey, honoring your individual strengths and potential for transformation.
