About Frances
Frances Fuller is a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and big life changes. She has seven years of professional experience and a straightforward, empathic approach. Frances aims to make beginning therapy less intimidating and supports people taking that first step.
Frances creates a calm space for clients to talk through what feels hardest right now. She listens closely to everyday details and uses practical strategies based on what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real problems and small changes that add up over time. Her work often addresses compassion fatigue and mood concerns like depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Frances also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, and low self-esteem.
Additional focus areas include parenting concerns, adoption and foster care topics, fertility and pregnancy-related difficulties, workplace stress, and multicultural or discrimination-related issues. Frances uses a mix of approaches to match each client’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and emotional safety. She may also draw on narrative techniques and EMDR-informed methods when trauma or painful memories are part of the picture. Sessions are offered in English and use formats that fit busy lives.
Frances encourages open communication about goals and progress, and she adjusts plans as needs change.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach look at relationship patterns and teach ways to feel more supported with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used when painful memories are affecting daily life and can be adapted for remote work with guided protocols and a careful pace. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Frances collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, history, and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Online formats offer options for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when a connection has lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, real-time coping in moments of stress, or continued reflection between longer sessions. These choices make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and daily life.Questions people ask about Frances
