Getting to know Francesca DeNardis

Hi there, I'm Francesca! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA, with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. Life's journey has many ups and downs, including periods of stress, sadness, and worry. I have experience helping clients uncover their strengths and learn new skills that allow them to navigate the challenges that arise in life. My approach I have experience with Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which focuses on the outcome and how you want to transform your life; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps change the way you view a problem into a healthier perspective; Mindfulness Therapy, which supports avoiding destructive thoughts by learning to be present in the moment; and Motivational Interviewing (MI), which helps explore and resolve uncertainty about making changes in your life. My focus I work with young adults, ages 18+, through older adulthood and the geriatric population. I have experience supporting clients facing life stressors, anxiety, depression, work-life balance, caregiver fatigue, chronic illness, pre-existing and medical conditions, life transitions, palliative care, and grief. My communication style I strive to create a safe, warm, and welcoming virtual environment. My communication style is open, emphasizing honesty, transparency, and a willingness to actively listen. I aim to build a foundation of mutual respect where you feel valued and heard. My journey to mental healthcare I have been in social work for almost 15 years in various roles, driven by a strong desire to help others. Much of my focus has been on case management within healthcare systems, where I found that many patients and families want to be heard, empowered, encouraged, and guided through life’s journey. As a therapist with a focus on healthcare and emotional wellness, I believe there is a real opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.
