About Frances
Frances Marley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of clinical experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating issues, and depression. She speaks English and French and practices from Louisiana. Her approach is calm and straightforward, so parents and busy adults can understand what to expect in a few clear sentences.
She invites clients to talk about painful memories and current struggles without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and slow, steady change.
Background and approach
Frances emphasizes listening first, then offering tools chosen with each person in mind. Her work draws on Jungian ideas alongside cognitive and acceptance-based methods. That means she pays attention to personal meaning, patterns that repeat in life, and actions that fit a person’s values.
She blends those perspectives with client-centered conversations to help people find clearer direction. Frances also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present worries and relationships. In sessions she may use exercises to build awareness of patterns and to practice different ways of responding.
She aims to make sessions useful and doable between appointments. People who come for help often want relief from overwhelming feelings and better ways to cope. Frances supports gradual progress, focusing on what people can try now.
She works with each person to set small, realistic goals and track change over time.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online work
Frances combines Jungian ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-based perspectives in plain, usable ways. Jungian therapy looks at personal meaning and recurring life themes to help people understand why certain patterns keep happening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values to reduce suffering. Attachment-based work examines how early relationships shape current worries and helps people try new ways of relating and responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances collaborates with each person to see which ideas fit their goals and personality. She listens to what feels useful and adapts methods over time so the plan grows out of the client's needs rather than a fixed formula.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let clients read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support simpler between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy working around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
