About Francesca
Francesca Cochard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who uses Jungian ideas alongside other approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She draws on six years of experience in mental health to guide clients through stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges.
Francesca centers each session on the person in front of her and adapts methods to fit real life needs. Her style is client-centered and humanistic.
Background and approach
She starts where a person is and works at their pace. Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness, improving how people relate to others, and finding practical ways to manage emotions like anger or grief. Francesca has worked in settings that involved trauma, juvenile justice, and foster care, which informs how she understands complex life stressors.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas when those methods match a person’s goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy concepts also appear in her work to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. She supports people coping with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting strain, and attention differences among other struggles.
Francesca pays attention to cultural identity and personal background when shaping a plan. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and she communicates regularly with clients to coordinate care. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on what the person needs.

Online support
Approach-focused care delivered online
Jungian Therapy looks at personal stories, dreams, and symbols to help people uncover deeper patterns that affect mood and relationships; it can be helpful when someone wants to understand recurring life themes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to learn their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. Sessions mix exploration and practical exercises so clients can test new habits between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins, and live chat or text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping consistent progress.
