Jennifer Frohock, LPC

Jennifer Frohock is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, career shifts, or relationship and parenting struggles. Her tone is warm and direct, aiming to make the first steps manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She has worked as a school counselor, family therapist, and counseling supervisor. That background shaped how she approaches problem solving and how she supports people through transitions. Jennifer blends practical strategies with a focus on what matters most to each person.

In sessions she uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods. That means conversations focus on thoughts and actions that are getting in the way, values that guide change, and listening that helps clients feel understood. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when they fit the situation.

Jennifer pays attention to everyday challenges like caregiver stress, blending families, eating and body image concerns, intimacy and sexual issues, and grief. She also helps people working through burnout, compassion fatigue, and finding new direction in midlife or career transitions.

Her style is inclusive, respectful, and collaborative. Sessions aim to be practical, with clear next steps and tools to practice between meetings. If someone is ready to try talking things through and learning concrete ways to cope, she offers steady support and guidance.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Jennifer blends cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside client-centered listening to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward those values even when difficult feelings appear. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and helping people feel heard so they can explore what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and practical.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief coaching, quick check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep momentum between meetings.
