She is Jennifer Franck, LCSW, LISW, and she brings 28 years of clinical experience to common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem.

She works with adults and older adults facing major life changes. That includes caregiving strain, workplace stress, health-related emotional challenges, and end-of-life transitions. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps that fit each person's daily life.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens for what matters most and then helps people try new ways of coping. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when relevant.

Jennifer has particular experience supporting people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and aging-related worries. She also helps people facing money stress, career challenges, and smoking or vaping cessation by breaking larger problems into manageable tasks.

In sessions she balances practical skills and emotional processing. That can mean learning tools to reduce anxiety, using mindfulness to steady strong emotions, or working through grief at a measured pace. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning and finding workable solutions.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then build small, practical changes. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by teaching specific coping strategies.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve moment-to-moment regulation. DBT skills are useful when strong reactions get in the way of daily life, and mindfulness practices support grounding and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the kinds of problems they want to address. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face work and skill teaching, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat are good for check-ins and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping care consistent and accessible.
