Anne Frauens, LCSW-C

Anne Frauens is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with 24 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She centers relationship concerns in her work while addressing communication problems, jealousy, and the aftermath of separation. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

Clients find a steady approach focused on everyday coping skills and clearer thinking. Frauens draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines after major life events. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, cancer-related stress, and caregiver strain.

She pays attention to life stage issues and long-term transitions. That includes aging and geriatric concerns, midlife shifts, and the emotional work that follows divorce or family conflict. The aim is to help people reclaim a sense of purpose and reduce isolation.

Sessions address communication and codependency patterns as well as control issues and guilt or shame. Healing work may include rebuilding boundaries, improving daily habits, and figuring out next steps after loss.

People who choose Anne can expect collaborative work that targets practical problems and personal values. She guides clients toward stronger coping skills and clearer decisions, while respecting each person’s pace and goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward practical change. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Behavioral techniques encourage small, manageable changes in daily routines to improve mood and reduce isolation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the client’s needs. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling for busy days and avoiding travel time, which can make regular work more likely. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, or support people managing chronic illness or caregiving duties who find leaving home difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
