About Jeffrey
Jeffrey "Jeff" Frommeyer focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting questions, and life transitions. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable. Jeff is a licensed social worker in Michigan and brings 24 years of practical experience to sessions.
He meets people where they are and treats them with respect and compassion. Conversations are tailored to each person, so plans are shaped around real life and real limits.
Background and approach
If a faith perspective would help, Jeff is comfortable including a Christian approach when asked. Jeff uses straightforward tools drawn from several well-known therapies. He helps clients learn skills to reduce anxiety, handle grief, and improve communication.
Sessions often include practice of new habits to try between meetings. His work draws on client-centered methods that follow the client's lead, plus techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Jeff also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to build coping skills and emotional regulation.
Jeff holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. He works with people in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. His goal is to build practical steps that fit into busy days and address the problems people bring into the room.
Therapy approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. It creates space for someone to describe their situation and decide what matters most, which is helpful for stress, grief, and parenting questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety and low mood by practicing new ways of thinking and small behavior experiments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Short exercises in mindfulness and coping skills are commonly included to reduce overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, practice skills between sessions, and reach a licensed professional from home or work. The different options let clients pick what feels most comfortable for them.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
