Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Francine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is often useful for those working on life purpose, managing stress, and becoming more present in relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaboration so clients can explore their experience at their own pace and build self-understanding. This approach supports individuals coping with family conflicts, parenting challenges, and transitions related to women's health and childbirth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Francine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to create a tailored plan rather than prescribing a single path.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them while maintaining regular contact with licensed professionals.
