About Frances

Dr. Frances Yahia is a licensed mental health counselor who has practiced in Florida for over 15 years. She brings a background in mental health and experience as a college professor to her personal work.

Her practice combines attention to personal beliefs and life patterns with practical conversation and steps forward. She often focuses on relationship and family challenges, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She draws on ideas from spiritual psychology and depth psychology to help people understand recurring patterns that affect their relationships.

Background and approach

Her writing on the subconscious, inner child work, and family dynamics informs how she talks about emotional habits. In sessions she uses a mix of techniques to help people name what matters, look at old shapes of thinking, and try new ways of relating. People can expect grounded discussion as well as reflective exercises that connect past experience to present choices.

The pace is adjusted to each person's needs and readiness. Dr. Yahia also leads retreats and workshops that expand on themes from therapy.

Her academic work as a professor of depth psychology supports an interest in meaning, spiritual questions, and long-term personal growth. She writes about family relationships and inner work in several books. Therapy is offered in English and Spanish and is delivered online through multiple formats.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dr. Yahia uses evidence-based techniques rooted in depth and spiritual psychology to guide her work. One common approach involves exploring the subconscious and inner child patterns to uncover where old hurts shape current relationships; this helps people see repeating behaviors and try new responses. Another approach centers on meaning-focused dialogue from depth psychology, which supports work around life purpose, forgiveness, and midlife shifts by examining personal narratives and values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend from home, to follow up in between appointments, or to use shorter check-ins when needed. The variety of options supports continuity and flexibility while exploring relationship and life-change concerns.
