Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care with Francesca O'Connor
Francesca draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and build small, committed actions that create meaningful change. ACT combines mindfulness and values-based action to address issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulty adapting to life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to problems and teaching skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with stressful situations.
Client-Centered Therapy is another core influence in her work - this approach emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and tailoring the pace and focus of sessions to the individual. It supports people who value a respectful, strengths-based relationship while they explore goals such as improving relationships, managing emotions, or increasing self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Francesca works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and the ability to keep continuity during work, travel, or life transitions. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
