Franchesca Joubert

LMFT (she/her)12 years of experience

I’m a warm, straightforward, and down-to-earth therapist who believes in keeping things real. My approach combines compassion, humor, and honest conversations to help clients see situations more clearly and recognize their own strength.

I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves while knowing they can expect honesty, support, and accountability.

I’m not the therapist who will simply tell you what you want to hear; I’ll help you look at the patterns, relationships, and choices that may be keeping you stuck. Whether we’re working through anxiety, depression, trauma, family challenges, or relationship struggles, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I believe therapy should be practical, relatable, and focused on helping you move forward—not just talk about the problem, but develop the confidence to do something about it.

First session

My ideal clients are individuals, children, teens, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, or behavioral challenges. I work best with clients who want honest feedback, practical solutions, and support in making healthier choices. My approach is compassionate, direct, and focused on real-life change.

Strengths

I was drawn to the counseling profession because I have a genuine passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges, recognize their worth, and make healthier choices. I believe people sometimes need more than someone to listen; they need honest feedback, a fresh perspective, encouragement, and practical tools to move forward. My approach is compassionate but direct, with a little humor when appropriate. I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves while knowing they can expect honesty, support, and accountability. Helping people recognize unhealthy patterns, establish boundaries, build confidence, and discover their own strength is what makes this profession meaningful to me.

Ideal clients

Select the stages you serve, such as: Children, Adolescents / teenagers, Adults, Families, Life transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and straightforward. I combine empathy, honest feedback, humor when appropriate, and evidence-based techniques to help clients recognize unhealthy patterns, develop coping skills, set boundaries, and make meaningful changes. I work with people that want accountability and change. My approach may be firm and with humor but with care.

Origin story

I became a therapist because I believe people deserve to be heard, understood, and encouraged to recognize their worth, even when life gets complicated. I’m passionate about helping people navigate difficult relationships, overcome emotional challenges, and learn to make choices that support their well-being. My style is honest and direct, with a little humor when appropriate. Sometimes we need compassion and a listening ear, and sometimes we need someone who will lovingly tell us, “Girl, you already know this situation isn’t working for you!” I believe both can be healing. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and recognize that they have the power to create a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Ongoing work together

As therapy progresses, we build on previous sessions by exploring patterns, developing healthier coping skills, and practicing practical strategies. We regularly review goals, address new challenges, and celebrate progress while strengthening confidence, boundaries, and lasting positive change.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Family Systems, DBT , Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. I use CBT to help clients identify negative thinking patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop healthier coping skills, and practice more effective responses to everyday stressors. Through practical strategies and goal setting, clients learn to manage anxiety, depression, and emotional challenges while making lasting behavioral changes.
