About Jeffrey

Jeffrey "Jeff" Frommeyer is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 24 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

He approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversation and care to fit individual needs and circumstances. Jeff emphasizes practical strategies and collaborative planning to help clients move toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning.

Drawing on several evidence-based methods, he blends client-centered dialogue with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. This flexible mix allows him to tailor support according to the issue at hand, whether that involves coping with loss, navigating commitment and communication problems, or addressing chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Jeff is also open to incorporating a Christian perspective into counseling when clients request that framework, always honoring personal values while working toward meaningful change.

Approaches for Online Support and Practical Change

Jeff frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice new patterns that reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve daily functioning. He also uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where the client's own goals and values guide progress, which can be especially useful when navigating grief or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs and preferences, combining techniques when helpful and adjusting plans as goals evolve to ensure the work remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing stressors, and access support without needing to travel, while allowing clients to choose the format that best matches their communication style and daily routine.
