About Frances
Frances "Tansie" Walker is a Florida LMHC with 34 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, family concerns, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Frances blends counseling and coaching and includes a faith perspective when it fits the client.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through what is happening now and set small goals to change how they respond. Sessions often include looking at patterns in relationships, emotions, and behaviors and testing doable steps between meetings.
Frances uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
She has training in family systems from graduate study and many years teaching at colleges. That background informs how she looks at roles, boundaries, and repeated patterns when households change. Frances lists blended family issues among her focuses and can help people facing stepfamily transitions, co-parenting tensions, and shifting routines.
People who choose her often want clear steps, practical communication tools, and someone who will notice patterns without taking sides. To start, readers should confirm session details through the site and follow the booking flow to match with her and schedule a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current connections. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns, notice triggers, and practice new ways of relating to partners and stepfamily members. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and follows the person's pace, helping them name what matters most and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as experimenting with different responses to conflict or anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and everyday life. That can mean trying one technique for a few weeks and adjusting what is used based on what helps.
Confirm the session formats before booking since options are listed during the matching process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice communication skills in real time and bring real-life situations into conversation without requiring a commute.
