About Frances
Frances Fuller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with seven years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and anger. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, career and workplace issues, and mood concerns.
Frances keeps therapy straightforward and conversational. She talks through what’s happening now and what matters to the person in front of her. Practical tools are used alongside talking so people can try different ways of responding outside sessions. She pays attention to relationships, patterns from the past, and current stresses that affect daily life.
Her approach draws on several methods to match the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape present reactions. EMDR is offered as one option for processing upsetting memories, and motivational interviewing can help when someone needs support making changes.
Frances also addresses issues that intersect with identity and life events. She lists LGBT concerns, multicultural issues, adoption and foster care, fertility and pregnancy-related matters, postpartum depression, and first responder stresses among her focus areas. People dealing with prejudice or seasonal mood shifts are included in the range of concerns she works with.
Sessions are conducted in English and Frances does not accept international clients. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How Frances Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Frances commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors, which can help with anger, anxiety, and workplace stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and helps with patterns in close relationships and parenting. She also lists Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as an approach for processing traumatic memories. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing recollections and can be used when past events continue to cause strong emotional reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, attachment-based methods, EMDR, or another technique fits best given their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. The practical benefits of online sessions often include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. These conveniences can make consistent work on anger and stress easier to maintain, while the choice of approach guides what happens in each session.Areas of focus
