    About Jennifer

    Jennifer Franck is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of practice. She offers calm, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Her work centers on helping people find steady footing through change and loss.

    She often helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, workplace pressure, and major life transitions. Health-related concerns such as chronic illness, cancer, and end-of-life issues are part of her focus.

    Jennifer uses several evidence-informed approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, EMDR, and DBT skills. In sessions she listens first, then helps create realistic coping strategies that match a person's goals and daily life. The pace and plan are set together so work feels manageable.

    Her background includes long experience with aging and geriatric issues and with people caring for loved ones. She brings particular attention to the emotional strains of caregiving and chronic pain. Practical problem solving and emotional support are both part of the process.

    Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused steps, and flexible thinking about solutions. Jennifer practices in Ohio as an LCSW and LISW and draws on nearly three decades of clinical experience to guide each person through change and recovery.

  2. Therapeutic approaches and online care

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for steps forward. It can be useful for behavior change, coping with health challenges, and sticking with goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people develop skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjust over time so the plan remains useful and realistic.

    Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use visual or audio-only options depending on comfort and bandwidth. Discuss format choices when you schedule so sessions fit your life and goals.
