How Frances uses CBT and solution-focused methods online
Frances draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves identifying patterns that worsen anxiety or depression and trying practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, social fears, and low self-esteem.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zoom in on small, achievable shifts. That method centers on current strengths and moments of progress, with short-term goals that can ease daily life. It is often helpful when someone wants concrete steps to reduce guilt, improve communication, or manage workplace strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Frances will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress and priorities evolve.
