About Jennifer
Jennifer Franck is a licensed social worker with 28 years of clinical experience who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LISW credentials and practices from Ohio. Jennifer is direct and practical in sessions, offering clear steps people can use right away.
She focuses on concerns that often come with aging, chronic illness, and caregiving. That includes emotional effects of cancer, chronic pain, hospice and end-of-life issues, and the strain caregivers face.
Background and approach
She also helps with workplace stress, money worries, smoking or vaping cessation, and career transitions. Jennifer uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness to calm the body and mind, and EMDR for people processing traumatic memories.
Her style is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Sessions center on practical coping skills and realistic goals. People leave with tools to manage day-to-day symptoms and clearer next steps for longer-term change.
She pays attention to both immediate problems and the bigger life story that shapes them. Her background includes nearly three decades of practice across multiple states and extensive work with adults facing health-related and life-stage challenges. Jennifer aims to create a steady, straightforward space where people can sort through difficult feelings and build forward momentum.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often giving homework or small experiments to try between sessions.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness includes simple breathing and attention exercises that people can use when anxiety or strong emotions arise.
For trauma-related concerns she may draw on EMDR to address distressing memories; this involves focused attention techniques alongside guided processing to reduce emotional intensity. These methods are chosen based on what makes sense for the person's history and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works with each person to weigh options, try methods, and adjust plans together. That collaborative process helps match strategies to practical needs, preferences, and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with low bandwidth or while multitasking, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These choices help fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to use the approaches described above.
