About Frances

Frances "Tansie" Walker is a licensed mental health counselor with decades of experience helping people through hard times. She brings 34 years in the field to sessions and aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly and find practical steps forward. Tansie takes a team approach.

She works with each person to set clear goals and develop small, manageable changes that add up. Sessions focus on everyday language and usable strategies rather than jargon or lectures.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction. She also helps people navigate relationship strains, communication problems, intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to blended families or commitment issues. Career stress and compassion fatigue are other areas she addresses.

Therapy draws on a few different ways of working, including approaches that look at how attachment and emotional patterns shape relationships and methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for relationship work, used alongside client-centered listening and emotion-focused techniques.

Tansie also brings coaching and life experience into sessions, and she says faith can be part of the conversation when clients want that perspective. She practices in Florida and offers work that aims to restore hope, build skills, and help people move forward after difficult events.

Therapeutic approaches for relationships and personal change

Frances uses the Gottman Method as part of relationship work, which focuses on real-time communication skills and ways couples can reduce recurring conflict. The approach centers on practical exercises to improve how partners talk and listen to each other.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses. That work can help people understand why they react as they do in close relationships and find different ways to connect. Client-Centered Therapy is another strand of her practice, offering nonjudgmental listening and support so clients can identify their own goals and solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a client's needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video sessions work well for conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between sessions.
