Frances Fuller, LCSW - Therapist in New Mexico

About Frances

Frances Fuller is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, grief, anger, and mood challenges such as depression and seasonal shifts. Frances works to make beginning therapy feel straightforward and respectful for someone taking that first step.

Her sessions aim to be open and nonjudgmental. She encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings and helps clients notice what gets in the way of daily functioning.

Background and approach

Frances draws on gentle practical tools so progress feels doable between visits. Frances uses techniques from attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy to look at how relationships and thoughts affect behavior. She also incorporates EMDR when trauma memories are a focus, and uses motivational interviewing and narrative methods to support change and meaning-making.

With seven years of practice as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - in New Mexico, Frances brings grounded clinical experience to common life concerns. She has worked with issues tied to work, identity, fertility, parenting after adoption or foster care, first responder stress, and reproductive mood challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and are available through online formats.

Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once the client completes the intake steps. Frances aims to help people take small, steady steps toward clearer routines and less overwhelm.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Frances often uses attachment-based work to look at how past and current relationships influence stress and behavior; this approach helps people notice patterns in how they connect with others and what they need from relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete strategies to change responses and daily routines. When trauma memories are central, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Frances works together with each person to choose or combine methods based on current goals, comfort level, and what feels manageable. That collaborative process helps shape each treatment plan rather than applying a single fixed technique.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow follow-up between visits, and let people connect from home or wherever they are. The variety of formats gives flexibility to match communication style and practical needs while working on stress, parenting concerns, trauma recovery, or mood-related issues.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
