About Jennifer
Jennifer Franck is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping adults cope with life changes and difficult emotions. She practices in Ohio and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting concerns, career issues, and trauma. Her approach pays attention to how the body and mind interact while also using practical talk-based methods.
She often supports people facing aging or geriatric concerns, chronic illness or pain, cancer, and hospice or end-of-life issues.
Background and approach
Caregiver stress and workplace problems are common topics in sessions. Financial strain and quitting smoking or vaping also come up in her work. Jennifer combines somatic awareness with structured therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
She also uses EMDR and mindfulness tools when those approaches fit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on building coping skills, managing symptoms, and making plans for real-life changes. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She listens for each person’s priorities and helps shape steps that can fit daily life. The aim is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes. Jennifer holds LCSW and LISW licenses.
She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats. People can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
How somatic work and skills-based therapies translate online
Somatic work helps people notice how emotions show up in the body and learn ways to respond to physical sensations. In an online session that might mean guided breathing, grounding practices, or gentle movement you can do at home while talking through what you feel. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical actions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help during intense moments and relationship stress.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided somatic exercises. Phone sessions can be helpful when a video setup is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges to work through immediate concerns. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or health appointments.
