About Francesca
Francesca Cochard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She brings six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and major life changes. Her approach is warm and client-centered, focusing on what each person needs right now.
Francesca uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other practical methods to help people understand their feelings and respond differently in relationships and stressful moments. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral tools to shape skills for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with youth in juvenile justice settings and children and teens who have been in foster care. That experience informs her comfort with trauma-related concerns and with supporting people who have faced disrupted attachments or abandonment. In sessions she starts where the person is and builds from there.
She pays attention to cultural identity and how life circumstances affect coping. The work often includes noticing emotions, practicing new ways of reacting, and building routines that support better sleep, eating, and mood regulation. Francesca helps with a range of concerns including grief, anger, addiction, intimacy and relationship problems, parenting stress, body image, ADHD, bipolar and depression.
People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process aimed at clearer understanding and practical change.

Online support
Emotion and Skills Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings, then use that understanding to change patterns in relationships and personal reactions. It can be useful when emotional connection, attachment wounds, or repeating conflict feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses and supports rebuilding safer ways of relating to oneself and others.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust as needed so the work feels useful and reachable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give options that fit different days. Video calls let people see facial cues for emotion-focused work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Chat or text is useful for brief check-ins, follow-ups, or steady support when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into work, school, or caregiving routines.
