Evidence-based approaches for online care

Francis employs cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients address patterns that maintain distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so that emotions and actions change in healthier directions; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Francis works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors methods and priorities so the therapeutic plan fits the individual's life and promotes realistic steps toward change.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other responsibilities. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, support consistent attendance, and allow therapy to continue in ways that suit each person’s schedule and comfort.
