How Frances blends narrative and practical approaches online
Frances often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This method looks at how events and labels shape daily life and helps people find different, more helpful meanings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to link thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers clear steps for testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors, which can ease anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress. Finding the right approach is a team effort. Frances talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. She adjusts techniques over time so they better fit the person's needs and circumstances. Online sessions make this kind of work more flexible. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, daily notes, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people manage therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities. Frances combines narrative and CBT ideas with the format that best fits each person's life and what they want to change.Common questions about this listing
