About Francine
Francine Anderson is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship concerns, and other life changes. She also notes a focus on blended family issues and communication problems.
Her approach starts with listening. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to understand what matters to each person. Sessions include practical conversation and concrete steps. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior that make stress or mood problems worse.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage strong feelings and stay present during difficult moments. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and identify small, workable changes. Francine combines these approaches to match a person’s concerns and pace.
People working with her can expect direct, clear discussion about coping skills, emotion regulation, and communication. She helps people talk through anger, low self-esteem, grief, and guilt without technical language. She also supports those facing aging-related issues and obsessive thoughts.
Francine practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. Her counseling style is practical and steady.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps shape conversations around what matters most. This approach is useful for people who need space to clarify feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood. CBT is often used for worry, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Francine will help clients weigh options and choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She collaborates on goals, adjusts techniques over time, and checks in about what is or isn’t helping.
