About Frances
Frances He is a California-licensed psychologist with 23 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients strengthen coping skills and rebuild motivation and confidence.
Background and approach
Frances approaches each person with respect for their own knowledge of their life and aims to amplify existing strengths rather than replace them. Her style emphasizes collaboration and gentle challenge, guiding clients through manageable steps toward clearer thinking and healthier habits.
Frances blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused strategies to address immediate difficulties and to create concrete plans for lasting change. She offers supportive guidance for those facing life transitions, workplace stress, caregiver strain, communication breakdowns, and issues around guilt, forgiveness, and social isolation.
Frances believes taking the first step toward a more satisfying life takes courage, and she provides steady, practical support throughout that process. Sessions are oriented toward real-world problem solving and small, achievable shifts that build momentum toward the goals each person defines.
Integrating Practical Therapies with Online Convenience
Frances uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop concrete behavioral strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and managing stress. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, forward-looking goals and to build on small successes that lead to meaningful progress in daily life.Deciding on the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Frances works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens for what is most useful in the moment and adjusts techniques over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow people to engage in therapy from familiar settings, which can help maintain continuity of care and support steady progress.
