Frances FullerLCSW

Frances Fuller is a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico with seven years of professional experience helping people navigate stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Frances aims to create an open space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment.

Frances uses practical, down-to-earth methods that focus on what matters most to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions.

When trauma is part of the story, Frances may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to reduce the intensity of painful memories. Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe their life stories and highlight strengths. Motivational interviewing supports those facing change or uncertainty by clarifying goals and building motivation.

Frances has additional focus in areas such as adoption and foster care, fertility challenges, postpartum depression, and pregnancy and childbirth. She also brings attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and workplace stressors.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Frances encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels realistic. She invites people to begin with a short questionnaire and schedule a session when ready.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and reactions. Online sessions using this approach focus on recognizing patterns in how a person relates to others and building new, healthier ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviors. In virtual sessions CBT often includes simple exercises and homework to practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaboration shapes whether attachment ideas, CBT, EMDR, or narrative techniques are used and how they are adapted to an online setting.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care through life changes or while managing parenting and work responsibilities.
