About Frances
Dr. Frances Yahia is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a PhD in mental health and over 15 years in private practice. She helps people who are struggling with relationship and intimacy difficulties, family and parenting stresses, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her background combines academic work and hands-on practice. She teaches depth psychology at the college level and leads retreats and workshops that focus on inner dynamics and family patterns. She has also written books about the subconscious, inner child work, family relationships, and partnership challenges.
In sessions she draws on a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and approaches used in spiritual psychology. That means conversations can include exploring early relationships, patterns that repeat in adult life, and how inner beliefs shape behavior.
People who come for help often want clearer communication, fewer misunderstandings, and more confidence in intimate settings. She works with specific problems like attachment concerns, abandonment fears, body image issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness challenges, and financial or midlife transitions.
Practical steps in therapy may include identifying unhelpful patterns, trying new ways of communicating, and practicing small in-session exercises that can be repeated between meetings. The focus is on readable, concrete tools rather than technical jargon.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Dr. Yahia uses evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual psychology ideas. One approach she draws on looks at early attachment and family patterns to explain how current relationship habits formed; this helps with intimacy, abandonment fears, and communication problems. Another approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful beliefs held in the subconscious and inner child work; this can be useful for low self-esteem, body image, and managing guilt or shame.Picking the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their concerns, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is reviewed. The process is interactive and paced to what the client feels comfortable trying.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins if needed. Online work can also help people practice conversation skills and communication techniques in real time, making it easier to transfer what is learned into everyday encounters.
