About Frances
Dr. Frances Yahia is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a PhD and more than 15 years in private practice. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She works with adults who are managing strained relationships, parenting pressures, or shifts in their personal roles.
She draws on spiritual psychology and other evidence-informed techniques to help people understand repetitive patterns. Sessions often look at early attachment themes, the inner child, and how family history shapes present behavior. She also writes about the subconscious and family dynamics, which informs her clinical perspective.
Dr. Yahia leads retreats and workshops and teaches depth psychology at the college level. That background means she frequently blends reflective exercises with practical conversation. Clients can expect focused work on communication problems, forgiveness, and rebuilding closeness when trust has been damaged.
She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, money and financial worries, and life purpose questions. For people dealing with abandonment, control issues, or midlife transitions, she uses strategies that clarify underlying patterns and offer ways to change everyday responses.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling process.
How sessions work
How evidence-based tools and online sessions are combined
Dr. Yahia describes her practice as grounded in spiritual psychology paired with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Spiritual psychology focuses on patterns held in the subconscious and the inner child, helping people name repeated reactions and how family history influences relationships. Evidence-based techniques aim to change specific thoughts and behaviors through clear, structured steps that target issues like communication, trust, and self-esteem.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving obligations. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins or when video is not convenient, so discuss practical needs when you schedule your first appointment.
