She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach
Her background includes work with domestic violence concerns, criminal justice related issues, and drug and alcohol addiction. Francesca also addresses codependency, family problems, and mood disorders while attending to multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. In sessions she provides direct, empathetic feedback and helps clients set clear, realistic goals.
She encourages small changes that add up over time and checks in about what is and isn’t working. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Francesca works in English and practices from Florida as a licensed mental health counselor, LMHC.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping people identify strengths, develop coping skills, and move toward healthier patterns in their daily lives.
What Francesca works with
Everything Francesca lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Francesca's practice.
Approaches for managing anger and related issues online
Francesca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common approach helps people learn to notice triggers, slow down strong reactions, and choose different responses; this is useful for anger and stress. Another approach teaches coping tools for anxiety and addiction, such as stepwise behavioral strategies and problemsolving to reduce urges and manage cravings.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. That collaborative process guides which techniques are tried and how sessions are shaped over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, written coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week without long commutes.
