01About Francesca
Francesca Cochard is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania who focuses on compassionate, practical therapy. She draws on six years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship pain. Her style is straightforward and respectful, with sessions that center the person's own goals and values.
Francesca starts by listening to what matters most to the client. She uses that information to choose simple, concrete steps that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person's situation, including attention to cultural identity and life context. She commonly uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotional regulation and intense mood swings are a concern.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape present patterns. Work may include skill-building for managing anger, breaking cycles of avoidance, or improving sleep and eating habits. Francesca also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions.
Practical coping tools and step-by-step plans are typical parts of sessions. Francesca offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. She accepts international clients and provides care in English.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different tools, and adjust methods to match each person's needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist work together to see what helps most over time rather than committing to a single method at the start.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth option, and messaging or chat are useful for short updates, homework support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to keep consistent contact over weeks or months.
