About Francesca

Francesca O'Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based methods to support clients facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns, as well as stress, anger, sleep difficulties, and challenges related to parenting or career transitions. Francesca also lists ADHD among her areas of focus and works with clients dealing with compassion fatigue, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while collaborating with each person to create a tailored treatment plan. Francesca emphasizes skill-building through practical strategies and guided practice so that clients can develop tools that translate into meaningful change.

She frames therapy as a partnership aimed at empowerment, and she supports clients who are ready to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Francesca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online practice. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and daily stressors. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, supporting people coping with chronic stress, difficult emotions, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what techniques resonate, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so interventions fit the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy here is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to integrate therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on skill-building and practical strategies.
