Francesca Wehr, LCSW Mental Health Counseling 

What I Specialize In

I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, somatic work, the Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy. Each one is research-backed, and the way we use them will depend entirely on you and what you need.

You Might Not Even Realize What You're Dealing With

A lot of people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, without knowing that what they're experiencing has a name. Trauma, anxiety, and depression don't always look the way we expect them to. Part of my job is helping you make sense of what's been going on, so you can stop white-knuckling through it and start actually moving forward.

For Couples

Relationships take work, and sometimes you need a guide. Using the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy, I help couples break negative cycles, rebuild trust, and learn to communicate in ways that actually hold. Imago is particularly powerful for couples who feel like they keep having the same fight, because it helps you understand why you were drawn to each other and how your early experiences show up in your relationship. Whether you're in crisis or just feeling distant, there's a path forward.

For Virginia Residents

I'm also licensed in Virginia, which means if you're based there, you have full access to everything I offer, all online, all from the comfort of wherever you feel most at ease.

Beyond the Therapy Room

In addition to my clinical work, I'm a certified Nurtured Heart Parent Coach and a New Jersey School Social Worker. That brings a unique lens to family dynamics, emotional regulation, and the ways our early experiences shape who we become. If you're a parent struggling to connect with a difficult child, or navigating a high-conflict family environment, that's an area I understand deeply.

What to Expect Working With Me

I believe the most powerful thing that can happen in therapy is feeling truly heard. When you can share your story without fear of judgment, something shifts. Shame loosens. Patterns start to make sense. And real, lasting change becomes possible. Most sessions are fully online, which means no commute, no waiting room, and no extra barrier between you and getting the support you need. For clients local to Hoboken, I also offer walk and talk therapy on nice days. Sometimes the best conversations happen when you're moving.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Reaching out is often the hardest part. If you're even considering therapy, that instinct is worth following. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what you're looking for and whether we're a good fit before you commit to anything. And if we aren't the right match, I'll make sure you leave with referrals so you're not back at square one.

You don't have to figure this out alone.
