Jennifer Franck

Jennifer Franck is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 28 years of experience to her practice. She works with adults and older adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps people cope with major life changes such as caregiving demands, workplace shifts, and health-related emotional challenges.

Her work pays particular attention to the emotional challenges that come with aging, chronic illness, cancer, and end-of-life concerns. She helps people who are juggling caregiver roles or facing chronic pain to find steady ways to manage daily stress. Career pressures and money worries are also common topics she addresses in sessions.

Therapeutic approaches used in her work include Trauma-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. She blends these approaches to fit each person’s situation and goals rather than relying on one fixed method.

Sessions focus on practical strategies. Clients learn coping skills, ways to rebuild confidence, and steps to manage mood and anxiety. The therapist prioritizes clear, compassionate collaboration so goals and next steps feel realistic and usable.

Jennifer holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices in Ohio. Her style is steady and intentional, aimed at helping people find workable paths through difficult life events.

How trauma-informed approaches and online work together

Trauma-Focused Therapy is aimed at helping people process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic events. It often involves careful pacing, grounding techniques, and rebuilding a sense of safety in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can help with strong emotions and repeated patterns of reacting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can change as progress is made and new concerns arise.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks from work or caregiving. It also lets people use methods like guided mindfulness or EMDR-informed exercises from a familiar setting when that fits the plan. The aim is to make therapeutic work practical and usable in daily routines.
