More about Francine
- 22 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania and telehealth therapist in Florida with 24 years of professional work experience. I received a Doctorate in Organizational Psychology from Mountain State University, a Masters in Counseling and Personnel Services and a Bachelors in Community Counseling from Purdue University. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LBGTQIA+-related issues, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am passionate about helping others find ways to help themselves. I have an extensive history of working with clients impacted by sexual abuse and domestic violence, as well as the LGBTQIA+ and alternative lifestyle communities. My therapy modalities include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy. My goal is to ensure my clients find emotional peace and grow confident in order to make positive contributions to this world. In my free time I enjoy traveling and cruising, spending time with my children and grandchildren, and tinkering with hydroponic gardening.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
