Jennifer Franck

Jennifer Franck is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 28 years of experience to her counseling practice. She works with adults and older adults to address difficult emotions and life transitions. Her focus includes grief, depression, anxiety, and the stresses that come with caregiving and health changes.

Jennifer concentrates on practical support that helps people manage everyday demands. She listens for what matters most and helps clients build coping skills that fit their lives. Sessions often center on small, usable strategies to reduce stress and improve mood.

Her background includes long experience working with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, cancer, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. That experience informs how she talks about loss, future planning, and the emotional effects of changing health needs.

Jennifer uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and other approaches to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and practice new skills. Therapy is offered as a collaborative process to set realistic goals and track progress.

People who come for help can expect a calm, direct style and a focus on workable changes. Jennifer helps clients prioritize what they want to change, builds a plan together, and adjusts that plan as life shifts.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for intense feelings. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is another approach she draws on to reduce the lingering effects of traumatic memories and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences to pick methods that make sense. That plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work in remote sessions so that therapy stays practical and usable in daily life.
