How Frances Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online

Frances draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills between sessions.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes finding practical solutions and building on what already works. This approach is useful when someone wants focused, short-term work on specific goals like improving communication or managing caregiver responsibilities.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Frances will work with each person to match strategies to their goals, needs, and preferences. She helps set clear objectives and checks in on what is and isn’t working as therapy progresses.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter conversation will do. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, and support progress with tasks to try between meetings.
