Frances Fuller is a licensed social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. She also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self esteem concerns, and workplace or career stress. Frances works in New Mexico and brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice.
She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear skills people can use between meetings. Frances listens for each person’s priorities and tailors the work to what matters most right now.
Her approach draws on several methods, including attachment-based work to explore relationship patterns and cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She can also use narrative methods to rewrite personal stories and EMDR techniques when trauma processing is appropriate. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to make a change but feel stuck.
Frances supports a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, ADHD, depression, postpartum challenges, adoption and foster care issues, fertility struggles, and multicultural or discrimination-related distress. She also assists first responders with job-related strain and addresses seasonal affective disorder and other mood concerns.
People who start therapy with Frances complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. She encourages taking the first step and meets clients where they are in a steady, practical manner.
How Frances uses therapy approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people connect and respond to stress. Work in this style looks at patterns in relationships and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that benefit from concrete skills and short-term practice.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, can be used when trauma memories are keeping someone stuck. It aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories so daily life becomes easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in and adapting techniques over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce commute time. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, CBT, and EMDR methods to remote sessions when appropriate, and Frances will discuss what will work best for you.
