About Francine
Francine Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, and depression.

She works from Tennessee and offers services in English to clients in the U.S. and internationally.
Francine uses a mix of practical techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and changing unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and work with strong emotions, and on cognitive and behavioral tools to shift thoughts and habits. Her style is warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles.
She also supports people facing issues related to adoption and foster care, aging, chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, codependency, and family problems. With 28 years of practice and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee at Memphis, Francine combines long experience with practical approaches.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take steps toward a meaningful life. Other methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills. Sessions may include focused skill practice, guided reflection on emotions, and reviewing progress between meetings.
Francine aims to help people reduce shame and guilt, repair communication problems, and find steadier ground after loss, divorce, or trauma.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions. Online sessions can guide clients to name feelings and test new ways of responding in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them. Through video or messaging, the therapist helps people notice what matters and practice value-driven steps between sessions.Francine believes finding the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients collaborate on choices so treatment feels relevant and doable for their daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video for deeper conversation, phone for a lower-bandwidth option, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief support or homework check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and let people use the method that best suits each moment.
