She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience.

Frankie draws on approaches that prioritize the relationship in therapy. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She also brings cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. Her background includes work at an inpatient crisis stabilization center and time supporting people in intensive outpatient programs. Frankie has experience assisting people who have lived with trauma, emotional abuse, or self-harm, and she has collaborated with child welfare systems and courts in past roles.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Frankie helps people set goals, try specific coping skills, and track what’s working. She adjusts plans based on the person’s needs and feedback rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Frankie offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works from Florida and conducts therapy in English. Her style is supportive and direct, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Frankie commonly combines client-centered listening with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work emphasizes being heard and respected; online sessions use that approach to build trust and shape goals together. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships and help people understand how past bonds affect current reactions, which can be discussed and practiced over video or messaging. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) adds clear, teachable tools to change thoughts and behaviors, such as practicing new responses or tracking mood and activity between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Frankie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, using feedback from sessions and real-life practice assignments.
Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, between-session coaching, or ongoing reflection without needing to schedule a full call. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady progress over time.
