About Francesca
Francesca O'Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship strain. Francesca uses clear, straightforward language and a respectful tone to help people take the first steps toward change.
She believes therapy should fit the person, not the other way around. Sessions are tailored to each individual's needs and goals.
Background and approach
Francesca teaches skills and strategies that become useful through practice, so work outside sessions matters as much as what happens in them. Her approach blends Existential therapy with evidence-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix helps with big life questions, unwanted thoughts and behaviors, and moments when coping feels overwhelmed.
She also draws on Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods when they match a person's needs. Francesca has helped people with trauma, parenting stress, sleep problems, career transitions, and a wide range of emotional concerns. She pays close attention to how values, identity, and life choices shape distress and recovery.
Her style is collaborative and practical, focusing on small steps that add up. Sessions are offered in English and Ewe, and Francesca accepts international clients. She aims to offer support that respects individual backgrounds while building tools for lasting change.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential therapy helps people face life questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility; it can be useful when major life changes or identity concerns feel overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while committing to actions that reflect personal values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's perspective at the center of sessions and emphasizes empathy and acceptance to build trust and self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Francesca will discuss your goals, preferences, and what tends to help you most. She aims to choose or combine methods in a collaborative way so the plan fits your needs and changes as you progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for full-session conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can be helpful for ongoing support, quick reflections, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
