About Jennifer
Jennifer Franck is an LCSW and LISW with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and older adults who are facing major life changes, stress, grief, health-related emotional challenges, and workplace strain.
She focuses on practical coping skills. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Money and financial issues are listed among her additional focus areas and she can help people talk through the stress those concerns create.
Her work often centers on transitions. That includes caregiving stress, aging concerns, end-of-life planning, and changes at work or in personal roles. She emphasizes steady, compassionate support while people adjust to new circumstances.
Jennifer uses several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and behavior, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills, EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate, mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness, and Motivational Interviewing to support change. She adapts methods to fit each person’s needs.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Clients can expect collaborative planning, skill building, and attention to what matters most to them. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase everyday coping so people can move forward with more confidence.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or money concerns. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when coping strategies need strengthening. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, supports processing traumatic memories that continue to cause distress and can be a tool when trauma or abuse is part of the story.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and personal preferences. Together they decide which method or combination of methods fits best and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know the formats offered. Many people find that online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, handle short check-ins between obligations, and avoid travel time. It can also allow for different ways of working on skills, such as guided exercises, homework between visits, and regular check-ins that support steady progress.
