Frances Fuller , LCSW

Frances Fuller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico with seven years of professional experience. She specializes in supporting people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, life transitions, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, grief, and a range of mood and relationship concerns. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, fertility and perinatal concerns, first responder issues, multicultural and workplace matters, and women's health topics.

Frances emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that encourages clients to name difficult thoughts and feelings and explore them at a comfortable pace. She combines evidence-informed methods such as attachment-focused work, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and EMDR to tailor treatment to each person’s history and current needs. Frances aims to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and restore a sense of direction after loss or upheaval.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Frances meets that step with respect and patience. She works to create an open environment where people feel heard and empowered to make changes that matter to their everyday lives.

Approaches to Care and How Online Therapy Works

Frances Fuller integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current ways of relating; it can help with relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and healing from attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits into more balanced thinking and effective behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, which can be useful for people who have experienced abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frances collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their history, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more involved and supported as they try different strategies.

Online therapy with Frances is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access consistent care from wherever a person is located within the therapist's service area, and they allow for a mix of real-time and between-session contact to support ongoing change.
