Jennifer Franck, LCSW, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Jennifer

Jennifer Franck is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She draws on 28 years of experience to offer steady, realistic support for everyday struggles. Sessions focus on skills people can use right away to feel more in control and calm.

Jennifer adapts a few different approaches to meet each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that worsen mood.

Background and approach

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and coping during intense times. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is sometimes applied for trauma-related memories. Her work often addresses life transitions and role-related stress such as caregiving, workplace pressures, and health changes.

She also helps with self-esteem, career questions, and practical concerns like smoking cessation and money stress. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps and build clear coping plans. Jennifer holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices in Ohio.

She blends clinical tools with a compassionate, down-to-earth style. Conversations are collaborative and focused on realistic goals. People can expect straight talk, concrete strategies, and steady support while they work toward improved day-to-day functioning.

Her long experience informs flexible use of techniques to match each person’s situation and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as part of her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and depression. EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional weight of traumatic memories through structured processing techniques.

She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are priorities. DBT skills teach concrete steps for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together - the therapist and client review goals and preferences and choose methods that fit the situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make support flexible. These options allow people to keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or health constraints. The variety of formats makes it easier to practice skills between sessions and stay connected when life gets busy.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
