About Frances Berniger
She concentrates on supporting adults aged 35 and older who are coping with grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and the particular difficulties that come from being the spouse or child of someone with a personality disorder, especially narcissism. Frances emphasizes practical growth, helping clients develop skills and strategies to meet day-to-day challenges while working toward meaningful change.
Her therapeutic style combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, strength-based perspectives, and solution-focused techniques to provide clear guidance and tools clients can use outside of sessions. Frances aims to create a compassionate, supportive environment in which adults can pursue progress at their own pace.
During four years as an independent contractor with an online counseling service, she observed that many clients preferred audio sessions, though she remains open to video when that better suits a client. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a state-issued credential for trained counseling professionals.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?
Many people consider remote counseling when life obligations, distance, or personal preference make in-person sessions difficult. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions, many individuals find online therapy to be a useful and accessible way to engage in mental health care.One major advantage of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or to continue therapy when travel or relocation would otherwise disrupt progress.
Licensed professionals provide remote services, and clients have the option to request a different therapist at any time if they need a different fit. For those weighing the choice, online therapy offers a range of practical benefits and methods of communication that many people find helpful when addressing everyday emotional and interpersonal concerns.
