About Francine
Francine Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also addresses concerns related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control problems, and grief-related issues like guilt and shame.
Francine focuses on helping people who feel stuck after life changes in work, relationships, or health. She uses clear, evidence-based approaches to help people notice patterns that no longer serve them. Sessions are practical and centered on making small changes that add up over time.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee (Memphis) School of Social Work. Francine has worked in clinical settings for nearly three decades and now runs a private practice in Jackson, Tennessee. She lists client-centered methods alongside several common therapeutic approaches she uses in sessions.
In the therapy room she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her and then pairs that with methods aimed at shifting thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. That can mean practicing new ways to manage strong feelings, testing out different actions between sessions, or learning specific skills for emotional regulation.
Francine notes that people who are LGBTQ, non-binary, and genderqueer are welcome. She also accepts international clients. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Francine often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, values-aligned actions even when hard feelings are present. CBT helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and build alternative behaviors that reduce distress.She treats these methods as tools to try together rather than fixed rules. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approach or combination fits best for their goals and preferences. That process can include short trials of skill practice, review of what worked, and adjustments over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists commonly use video for fuller interaction or phone for lower bandwidth and simpler check-ins; discuss which format would fit your routine when you schedule.
