About Frances
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She builds a welcoming space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps clients can use between appointments to feel steadier day to day.
Frances draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses EMDR and Narrative Therapy when trauma or painful memories are central to the work. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change.
In sessions she listens closely and helps clarify what matters most to each person. Goals are practical and tailored - for example reducing angry outbursts, improving sleep, or finding ways to cope after loss. The focus is on skills you can use now and insights that make lasting sense.
Frances invites people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. She works in English and is licensed as an LCSW in New Mexico.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape emotions and reactions. It can help people understand why certain situations trigger anger or anxiety and practice new ways of connecting with others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable parts. It teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful thought patterns and reducing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or anger outbursts.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, targets distressing memories and the strong emotions tied to them. When trauma is central to someone's difficulty, this method can be used to reduce the intensity of painful memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That choice can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow quieter check-ins that match the day's needs. Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm the available online options before booking. The focus remains on practical tools and steady progress rather than on a single technique.
