About Jean
Dr. Jean Frank is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, and issues connected to trauma. Her style is direct and practical, focused on teaching coping skills and supporting people through change.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one single method. Sessions often include strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, and she may draw on attachment work or techniques that help process traumatic memories when appropriate. The goal is to find tools that fit the person’s daily life and goals.
Dr. Frank has worked across many settings including independent practice, corrections, schools, hospitals, and community mental health centers. That variety informs how she tailors care for different situations, such as coping with life changes, chronic illness, caregiving stress, or first responder issues. She aims to help people strengthen coping skills, resolve conflicts, and move toward change.
She speaks English and Portuguese and has training that includes trauma-focused coursework. Her doctorate in biology and a master of science in psychology support a thoughtful, evidence-aware approach. Clients can expect an empathic, nonjudgmental therapist who will help them decide the best next steps for therapy.
If you are unsure whether therapy is right now, she will help you weigh options and plan next steps. To begin, follow the site’s start process and complete the short questionnaire to match and schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions tied to major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of painful memories by processing them in a structured way; it is often chosen for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so treatment stays relevant and practical.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example allowing a shorter check-in during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session type that needs less bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for online delivery so people can keep building skills between appointments.
