About Frances
Frances Fuller is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, mood concerns, and ADHD. Frances writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk about what matters to them.
She aims to make the therapy space calm and open. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Frances uses clear, down-to-earth language and encourages small changes that add up over time. Her work draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based methods to help people understand patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses narrative techniques and EMDR when trauma or painful memories are part of the picture.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants support finding motivation or making a change. Frances has seven years of professional experience and holds an LCSW license in New Mexico. That background includes helping people manage workplace stress, postpartum difficulties, adoption and foster care challenges, fertility concerns, and multicultural stressors.
People who reach out typically want a practical yet compassionate partner to help them sort priorities and build coping skills. Frances helps people set achievable goals, practice new responses, and track progress over time. She meets with people using formats that fit busy lives, including video and phone sessions as well as chat and messaging options.
How Frances blends therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current habits and reactions. In therapy this can mean tracking how you relate to others and trying small changes to feel more connected or less reactive. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change feelings and actions; it often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when painful memories continue to cause distress and involves guided processing to reduce the memory's emotional intensity.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Frances talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She works collaboratively to adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model on everyone.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing work between appointments. These options give flexibility for different days and needs while keeping the focus on steps that help people feel better and function more easily.
