About Frances
Frances Marley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and depression. She speaks English and French and brings nine years of counseling experience to her work. Her focus is on creating a calm, welcoming space where clients can talk frankly about what’s hard for them.
Her sessions are straightforward and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people name patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
Frances uses gentle, practical tools so clients can try small changes between meetings. She emphasizes real steps rather than abstract theory. Attachment-based ideas shape how she views relationships and safety in therapy.
Frances also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts, accept difficult feelings, and try new behaviors. When intense emotions come up, she can use skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach grounding and emotion regulation.
People who come to her often want help coping day to day, improving communication, or handling loss and abandonment issues. She also works with concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the challenges that can come with adoption and foster care histories. Frances keeps things collaborative.
She helps each person set realistic goals and checks progress along the way. Her approach aims to empower clients so they can move toward a more manageable, meaningful life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based ideas focus on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions let the therapist notice patterns in how someone talks about close relationships and try new ways of relating in real time. This can help with fears around abandonment, attachment issues, and building more supported ways of connecting.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. In an online setting ACT exercises often include short practical tasks and mindful exercises that clients try between sessions to test what changes feel useful.
Frances combines these approaches with a client-centered stance so the work is collaborative. She will help explore which methods fit a client's goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needed rather than insisting on one path. Finding the right mix is part of the process and happens together over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls work well for deeper conversational work and visual cues. Phone sessions can make check-ins easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill reminders, and brief emotional support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change.
