About Francesca
Francesca Cochard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who uses an attachment-focused lens in her work. She centers sessions on the relationship between early bonds and current struggles. Francesca uses practical tools from several approaches and helps people make clear changes in daily life.
She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions. Her background includes work with youth involved in the juvenile justice system and with children and teens in foster care, which shaped her understanding of trauma and stress responses.

She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life and offers guidance to increase self-awareness and improve relationships.
Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs and take cultural identity and lifestyle into account. In practice she draws on Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive and skills-focused methods. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify values and take committed action. Sessions are offered in English and Francesca works with international clients as well. She communicates through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and online therapy options
Francesca integrates Attachment-Based Therapy with skills-focused approaches to address how early relationships influence current behavior and emotional patterns. Attachment work looks at trust, closeness, and safety in relationships and helps people change patterns that cause distress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Francesca will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful for a person, and then tailor methods to fit those needs. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to adjust the plan. Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. Video sessions let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels better. Live chat and text-based messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, homework support, or times when typing fits a schedule better. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into work, school, or family life while using attachment-informed and evidence-based techniques.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
