About Jennifer
Jennifer Franck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and career-related stress.
She works with adults and older adults who are facing big transitions. That includes caregiving strain, workplace pressures, health-related emotional challenges, and end-of-life concerns. The first sessions are practical and focused on what feels most urgent to the person.
Jennifer uses clear, structured approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to offer tools for day-to-day coping. Sessions often include learning new skills, practicing small changes, and tracking what helps.
Her background includes extensive work with chronic illness, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic pain and disability, money and financial worries, smoking and vaping cessation, and workplace issues.
Clients can expect straightforward planning, skill practice, and follow-up between sessions when it fits their goals. The practice emphasizes collaboration - setting clear goals, checking progress, and adjusting strategies as needed.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more helpful responses. In practice this means short structured exercises, thought records, and small behavior experiments that can be reviewed between sessions. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness; those skills translate into step-by-step practice and brief coaching during session. EMDR addresses distress linked to traumatic memories using guided processing techniques to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the problem and the person's preferences. They track what helps and shift strategies when needed, so the plan evolves with progress and setbacks.
The biography does not state which online session formats are offered. Confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur around work or caregiving schedules. Therapists generally adapt exercises so skills practice fits everyday life and follow-up tasks can be done between appointments.
