Combining Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation or avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can help with abandonment, attachment concerns, and relationship difficulties by fostering safer, more adaptive ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop healthier coping strategies for depression, anxiety, and many day-to-day problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Frances works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Frances is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy routines, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working toward personal goals.
