About Jennifer

Jennifer Franck brings nearly three decades of clinical experience to her work as a licensed clinical social worker in Ohio. She centers her practice on cognitive behavioral approaches while integrating other evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

Her background emphasizes support for adults navigating major life transitions, caregiving responsibilities, workplace stress, and the emotional challenges that accompany chronic illness and aging. Jennifer is experienced in helping clients develop concrete coping strategies and build emotional resilience through a collaborative, person-centered process.

She pays close attention to each person's story and tailors interventions to fit their needs, whether the focus is on processing trauma, adjusting to health-related changes, or addressing practical concerns such as money or career stress.

Jennifer holds LCSW and LISW credentials and draws on a range of therapeutic tools to guide clients toward clearer perspectives and more workable patterns of thinking and behavior.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to promote measurable improvements in mood and functioning.

She also incorporates EMDR for clients who are processing distressing memories or trauma; this approach uses guided processing to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic experiences and support healing. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices may be used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness when those abilities are priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, then adapts techniques from these modalities to fit the client’s needs and pace. This partnership helps ensure that care aligns with practical goals and personal values.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic tools between sessions while accommodating different communication styles and life circumstances.
