About Frances

Frances Fuller is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and big life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and a range of mood and relationship concerns. Frances writes plainly and aims to make the first step easier for people who are unsure where to begin.

Frances keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. She encourages people to talk about what matters most and listens without judgment. Conversations focus on practical steps, coping tools, and clearer ways to handle day-to-day strain.

Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioral techniques, and narrative methods. That mix helps people spot unhelpful patterns, reframe difficult memories, and try new behaviors that fit their lives. EMDR and motivational interviewing are also among the approaches she uses when helpful.

With seven years of professional experience, Frances has worked with diverse concerns such as depression, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She aims to tailor each session to the person in front of her rather than follow a one-size-fits-all plan.

Frances conducts sessions in English and practices from New Mexico. She invites curious or worried people to take a small step - ask a question or start a short matching questionnaire - to see if her approach fits their needs.

How Frances' approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past connections shape current relationships and helps people identify patterns in how they seek support. It can be useful for people wanting more secure ways to relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is a method used to process troubling memories and reduce their emotional intensity and can be helpful for people who have experienced trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Frances will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they try a direction for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps most.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work or childcare, and make attending sessions from a single convenient location simpler. Some methods like CBT translate well to a remote setting because they rely on exercises and homework, while approaches addressing traumatic memories can also be adapted for online delivery with care and planning. Licensed professionals can help match the approach and format to practical needs and goals.
