About Jean
Dr. Jean Frank focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, or major life changes. She speaks English and Portuguese and offers a calm, steady presence for practical problem solving.
Her approach is straightforward and aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable. She brings 20 years of experience in settings that include independent practice, corrections, schools, hospitals, and mental health centers. That background means she is used to working with people facing crises, loss, trauma, addictions, and adjustment after big changes.
Background and approach
In sessions she combines several approaches rather than relying on one single method. Expect clear skill-building for anxiety, mood, and coping, plus attention to patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem. She uses tools that help people manage strong emotions, including anger, and rebuild routines after setbacks.
Dr. Frank holds a Doctor in Biology from Universidade de Brasília and a Master of Science in Psychology from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, listed as LMHC.
She aims to help clients identify practical strategies, resolve conflicts, and strengthen coping skills. If someone is unsure where to start, she guides them through deciding what to work on and how therapy might fit into their life.
Sessions can be tailored to immediate concerns like grief, addiction, chronic pain, or longer-term goals such as improving communication and reclaiming a sense of control.

Practical approaches you can use online
Dr. Frank often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on naming what matters, noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking small steps toward valued actions. ACT helps when worry, avoidance, or strong emotions get in the way of living a chosen life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach straightforward skills for changing them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger by replacing automatic reactions with calmer responses.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Together the therapist and client check what helps and adjust the plan over time so work stays relevant and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations and EMDR-style work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suit short check-ins, skill practice, or days when a check-in is needed without a full session. These options allow work to continue around work, caregiving, and other life demands.
