Therapeutic approaches and online support

Frances commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current emotional needs and interactions, which can be helpful for abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a collaborative relationship, giving clients space to lead the pace and focus of their sessions while the therapist offers supportive reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frances works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and the choice of techniques can be adjusted over time. If additional support is appropriate, collaboration with other licensed professionals or therapists can also be considered.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and geographical constraints. These options support regular contact, timely access to appointments, and continuity of care for clients in different locations.
