About Francine
Francine Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. Francine helps people who are navigating relationship strain, grief, health challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, and other life disruptions.
Francine describes a straightforward therapy style that blends practical skills with talk therapy. Sessions often focus on understanding patterns, reducing unhelpful behaviors, and building coping tools that fit day-to-day life. She uses methods drawn from cognitive and behavioral approaches as well as emotion-focused work.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee, Memphis. Over nearly three decades she has worked in clinical settings and private practice. That experience informs a steady, problem-focused approach to common and complex concerns.
In sessions she aims to help clients recognize what keeps problems repeating and to practice small changes that make daily life easier. Examples include managing mood swings, reducing anxiety symptoms, improving communication, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving demands.
Francine also names adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, cancer, disruptive mood concerns, divorce and separation, family problems, gender dysphoria, and issues around guilt or control as areas she addresses. She offers care in English and accepts international clients, and she asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing persistent mood challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety and depression and for building practical coping steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve during care.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for people managing health or caregiving duties. Therapists commonly adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between appointments. If you need details on session length or format, check the booking options or ask when you complete the matching questionnaire.
