About Frances
Frances Fuller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with seven years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and related strains.
Frances takes a straightforward, skills-based approach. She listens to current problems and then works with people on practical steps. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new ways of responding, or learning short-term strategies to reduce stress.
Her work often includes addressing relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and mood issues such as depression and seasonal affective disorder. Frances also supports people with ADHD, workplace issues, and reproductive concerns like fertility and postpartum challenges.
She uses several clinical methods to guide sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based ideas, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. These are used to help people process difficult memories, shift patterns of thinking, and set achievable goals.
Frances aims to make the first steps clear and manageable. She asks focused questions, suggests experiments to try between sessions, and reviews what does or does not work. To begin, prospective clients follow the directory steps to match and schedule a first session.
How Frances uses CBT and trauma-focused work online
Frances commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-informed and trauma-focused approaches. CBT involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and practicing small experiments to change them. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and help people try new ways of relating. EMDR is used as a trauma-focused tool to help process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, and then suggest one or more methods to try. She frames this as a collaborative process and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses. Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people choose online sessions for practical reasons such as fitting appointments into a workday, avoiding travel time, or having shorter check-ins when needed. Frances aims to help clients fit therapeutic work into their everyday schedules while focusing on clear, actionable steps.Areas of expertise
