About Frances
Frances "Tansie" Walker is a Florida LMHC with 34 years of clinical work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and addictions. She also helps with career concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues.
Walker uses a practical, collaborative style. She helps people set clear goals and test small changes between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on habits, thoughts, and actions that get in the way of daily functioning.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling and an Education Specialist degree in Family Systems from Georgia State University. She also has an undergraduate background in psychology and sociology and decades of experience in counseling and higher education.
In sessions she blends approaches that fit the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the methods she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas also shape work on relationship and intimacy issues.
Tansie treats common life events such as divorce and separation, blended family challenges, codependency, abandonment and attachment concerns, affairs and infidelity, substance use problems, and communication difficulties. She frames therapy as a working collaboration with practical next steps and options to consider.
People who want clear structure, goal-setting, and practical tools for everyday problems often find this direct approach useful. Before booking, confirm the current session options and any logistical details through the scheduling process.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Many of her methods aim to make problems more manageable in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what shifts. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits that interfere with functioning.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection styles show up now. It can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, communication problems, and rebuilding trust after infidelity or separation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals, giving space for people to set the pace and focus areas of their work.
Finding the right approach is a joint task. The therapist will discuss options in early sessions and help decide which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That decision can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists generally adapt tools and homework to the realities of a client's day so learning and practice can happen between meetings.
