About Francesca
Francesca O'Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and issues with self-esteem. Francesca values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs and goals.
Her approach emphasizes practical skill building. She teaches concrete strategies that clients can practice between sessions to create small, steady changes. Francesca often helps people manage anger, improve motivation, and cope with trauma-related symptoms. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns and codependency when these affect daily life.
Francesca uses several therapeutic approaches to guide her work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings client-centered listening to create a supportive space for exploration.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Francesca works with each person to build a plan that fits their circumstances and priorities. She frames change as a series of practiced skills rather than a one-time event.
Francesca speaks English and Ewe, and she is available to work with international clients. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers steady support while they practice new ways of handling life’s challenges.
How Francesca Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Francesca commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more workable ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, mood, and stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Francesca will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques so they match day-to-day needs and helps clients test new skills in manageable steps. This collaborative decision making helps clients feel involved and clear about the plan.
