About Frances

Dr. Frances Yahia brings more than 15 years of clinical work to her practice in Florida. She holds a PhD in mental health and is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. Her background includes independent practice, writing, teaching, and running workshops and retreats.

She focuses on relationship concerns and issues that affect intimacy. She also helps people with family dynamics, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Practical topics she addresses include communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, and navigating divorce or separation.

Her approach blends spiritual psychology ideas with other evidence-informed techniques. Sessions often look at patterns formed in early relationships and how these show up now. She helps people name those patterns and try different ways of relating and coping.

Clinical interests also extend to body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Dr. Yahia has written books about the subconscious, inner child work, and relationships, and she draws on that experience in sessions.

She leads retreats and workshops and teaches depth psychology at the college level. People who want a thoughtful, reflective approach that connects personal history with present challenges may find her style a good fit.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Dr. Frances Yahia uses evidence-informed techniques that look at how early relationships shape current behavior. One approach focuses on attachment and abandonment patterns and helps people recognize how those patterns affect intimacy and trust. Another common strand explores the inner child and the subconscious to surface repeated reactions and try different responses in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is often collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to decide which techniques to try first. Clients and therapist can adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins around work or caregiver responsibilities. It can also let someone use less bandwidth with audio-only sessions or keep sessions brief when needed. Ask about current session formats to see what will work best for your routine.
