About Jeffrey
Jeffrey "Jeff" Frommeyer is a licensed master social worker with 24 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. Jeff uses a respectful, compassionate style and adapts conversations to each person's situation.
He aims to make sessions practical and straightforward. Jeff listens first, then helps set small, reachable goals. He often uses techniques that help people change unhelpful thought patterns and build skills for handling strong emotions.
Background and approach
Jeff combines client-centered work with evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical strategies. He also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and find motivation for change. These tools are applied to concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and coping with chronic illness.
Many clients come for help after loss, during major life changes, or when parenting feels overwhelming. Jeff will tailor the plan to what matters most to the individual and may include short-term skill building or longer-term support. He is comfortable integrating Christian perspectives into counseling when requested.
Sessions are offered in English and provided from Michigan. Jeff emphasizes a collaborative pace and clear steps so people can see progress between meetings.

Approaches and how online sessions help
Jeff often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person and their goals, helping the therapist and client plan together. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can ease stress and improve emotional control.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeff will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying brief skill-focused work first or combining mindfulness and CBT techniques over several sessions. The plan evolves based on what the person finds helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is hard. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short skills practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for busy lives.
