About Frances
Frances Marley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and eating concerns. She speaks English and French and brings nine years of clinical experience to conversations about difficult emotions and behaviors. Frances aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to speak honestly.
She focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name what they feel. The first meetings often center on what matters most to the person and what small steps feel possible right now.
Background and approach
Her approach draws from Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused work. That means she pays attention to values and meaning, helps people accept difficult thoughts while acting on their goals, and looks at how relationships shape current struggles. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered skill-building are also part of sessions.
People can expect straightforward strategies for managing anxiety, planning relapse prevention, or shifting unhelpful thinking about body image and eating. Frances works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. She encourages steady, manageable changes rather than big, quick fixes.
Her aim is to support people so they can move toward a more fulfilling day-to-day life.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy helps people look at values, meaning, and choices in life. Online sessions with this focus often involve wide-ranging conversation about what matters and where someone wants to move next. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines noticing painful thoughts with committing to actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent worries about behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early and current relationships affect trust and emotional patterns, which can help with relational wounds and attachment concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan collaboratively so it fits your needs and preferences. That helps ensure sessions feel relevant and doable rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide practical benefits. Video is good for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when being on camera isn't desired. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when fitting a session into a short break. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
