About Francesca

Francesca Cochard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of experience in the mental health field. She has focused much of her work on children, adolescents, and families who have faced trauma or stress-related disorders, and she brings direct experience from settings such as the juvenile justice system and foster care services. Her background includes supporting at-risk youth as well as helping individuals manage anxiety, mood concerns, anger, and family conflict.

Francesca practices from a client-centered, humanistic perspective that recognizes each person as the expert in their own life. She works collaboratively to increase internal awareness, support interpersonal change, and promote healing, tailoring interventions to meet each client where they are while attending to cultural identities and lifestyle factors that shape experience. She draws on evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), to address a range of challenges across development.

Her typical availability is Monday through Friday from 9:15 AM to 6:45 PM, and she may be able to offer earlier, later, or weekend appointments by request. Francesca generally responds at least once each morning and once each evening, and clients may also schedule live sessions in advance. This practice is not intended for crisis or immediate emergency support. In an emergency, individuals should call 911 or local emergency services, or contact the national suicide prevention lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Therapeutic Approaches Tailored for Online Care

Francesca integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online practice to meet diverse needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace so individuals and families feel understood and supported while exploring goals and values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early connection patterns, helping clients address difficulties in bonding, trust, and family dynamics that often underlie current struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages practical steps to live in line with personal values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Francesca works with each client to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to ensure the plan remains helpful and practical.

Online therapy with Francesca uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still allowing licensed professionals to provide focused therapeutic support.
