How Frances Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Frances draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress or low mood and to practice new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to test changes between meetings, which can be reviewed over video or messaging.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and to identify small steps that build momentum. This approach keeps conversations practical and forward-looking, useful when people want quick, concrete progress on specific problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frances will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday schedule. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is helping.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits people who prefer to write or need ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
