About Francesca

Francesca Corea is a licensed counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of life transitions and mood concerns.

Background and approach

She brings nine years of clinical experience and blends practical skills with compassionate support to help clients work through symptoms like impulsivity, anger, bipolar mood challenges, seasonal mood shifts, and difficulties tied to family of origin, abandonment, or codependency. Francesca also addresses career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, communication problems, and identity and life-purpose questions.

Her approach centers on collaboration and skill-building. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods to help clients identify patterns, practice new strategies, and build emotional regulation.

Sessions are structured to include concrete tasks between meetings so clients can apply tools in daily life while therapists offer empathetic listening and practical guidance. Francesca aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can regain balance and begin meaningful change.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Francesca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and structured work, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, particularly when intense emotions or impulsivity are present. Client-centered techniques round out her approach by prioritizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative goal-setting to help clients feel heard and involved in their own progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Francesca will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting techniques over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Florida-based licensed professionals while fitting therapy into busy lives and everyday routines.
