Jeffrey Frommeyer, known as Jeff, is a Michigan-based licensed social worker with 24 years of professional experience. He holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and has spent his career supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and other life changes.

Jeff approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual goals and circumstances. He combines practical tools with empathetic listening to help people navigate transitions and rebuild balance. Jeff is comfortable integrating a Christian approach to counseling when requested, and he frames work together around the client’s values and preferences.

Recognizing that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, Jeff offers steady support throughout the process. He works collaboratively to identify priorities, build coping skills, and create a plan that fits each client’s unique needs and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeff often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and supported as they explore personal challenges and values. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, grief, and adjusting to life changes.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT provides practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties through structured techniques and skill-building.

In some cases he incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful for intense emotions, relationship strain, and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeff works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts plans over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists from wherever the client is located within Michigan.
