About Frances
Florida LMHC Frances "Tansie" Walker has 34 years of clinical experience working with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and addictions. She practices from a mix of attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, emotionally-focused, and existential approaches. Frances uses her years of practice to help clients sort through urgent problems and long-standing patterns.
Frances meets people who are overloaded, worn out, or stuck after major life changes. She works with relationship strains including infidelity, communication problems, polyamory and blended family issues. She also supports people facing substance use concerns, codependency, and challenges with self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.
Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on identifying clear goals, looking at how past attachments affect current relationships, and learning skills to manage thoughts and emotions. She combines talking, reflection on patterns, and specific behavioral changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Frances incorporates discussions of values and, where clients wish, a Christian perspective while respecting each person’s beliefs. She balances counseling and coaching elements to help people move from crisis toward steady routines and decision-making that fit their lives.
She has long experience working with parents, couples, individuals, and teens on challenges like divorce, abandonment, commitment worries, jealousy, and compassion fatigue. People who want straightforward, experience-based guidance often find her approach useful.

Approach and what online sessions involve
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people change how they relate when attachment wounds show up in adult relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with specific exercises to reduce anxiety and depression and improve coping.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Frances will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches to use based on their goals, values, and what feels most useful in early sessions. She adjusts focus as needs change during care.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people work with a licensed professional from their community while keeping appointments within everyday routines.
