About Frances
Dr. Frances Morrison is an Illinois clinical psychologist with five years of practice experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She uses clear, structured methods to notice thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep problems going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches she uses alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based work, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on practical skills, experiments, and steps people can try between meetings.
Her style is straightforward and focused on specific problems and patterns. She will help identify unhelpful thinking, test new ways of responding, and practice coping skills. Therapy can include work on relationship communication, boundary setting, and managing intense emotions.
Frances draws on experience with a range of concerns to match approaches to the person in front of her. She explains options, tries interventions that fit the situation, and adjusts plans based on how people respond. The aim is to build skills that make daily life more manageable.
She practices in Illinois as IL Psychologist 071.010035. People meet to set goals, try concrete strategies, and track progress over time.
How CBT and related methods work in online sessions
People can expect work grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with attention to attachment concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. ACT emphasizes noticing values and taking small committed actions even when strong feelings are present. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions and aims to shift those patterns in everyday interactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Expect some practical homework and skills practice between meetings so progress can be tracked.
The therapist's profile does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to bring therapy into daily life this way, while still working on concrete CBT and ACT skills with a licensed professional.
