About Frances

Dr. Frances Yahia brings more than 15 years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. She holds a PhD in mental health and is a Florida LMHC. Her work focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and she also addresses money and financial issues among other challenges.

Her sessions draw on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside spiritual psychology ideas. She helps people name patterns that cause pain and then practices new ways of responding. She also uses tools for working with the inner child and family dynamics when those themes come up.

In addition to clinical work, she has written books about the subconscious, inner child work, family relationships, romantic partnerships, and spiritual journeys. She leads retreats and workshops that deepen the work done in therapy and brings that group experience into one-on-one sessions when helpful.

Dr. Yahia also teaches depth psychology at the college level, which keeps her connected to current theory and practice. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical change. She supports people who want clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and to heal patterns tied to abandonment or attachment wounds.

She offers services in English and Spanish. If money or life transitions are causing stress, she helps people untangle those issues and build manageable next steps.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Dr. Yahia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside spiritual psychology ideas. Evidence-based techniques often include approaches that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, so therapy focuses on practical steps and in-session skill practice that can be used at home. Her spiritual psychology and inner child work involve reflective exercises and guided imagery to explore early patterns and emotional experiences, which clients can continue between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This shared process makes it easier to find techniques that match a person's comfort level and life situation.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy week and continuing work when schedules or travel make in-person visits difficult. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, practice skills from daily life, and bring therapy into the routines where problems actually happen.
