Francis Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years in the mental health field. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to move forward. Her style is warm and accepting, and she aims to help clients make clear changes in thoughts, moods, and behaviors.

She combines that experience with straightforward techniques like mindfulness and solution-focused planning to help clients chart a course forward. In appointments she partners with people to design a recovery plan that fits their life. The work is practical and collaborative - tracking small changes that add up.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building
Francis often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood. In short sessions she can help clients spot thought patterns and test small behavioral experiments to see what shifts their mood or stress levels.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These are straightforward tools for handling intense feelings, improving communication, and staying present when overwhelm increases.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone calls can be a shorter check-in without video, and chat or text messaging make it easier to share brief updates or work through exercises between sessions. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or school schedules.
