Frances "Tansie" Walker, LMHC

Frances "Tansie" Walker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 34 years of experience helping people face hard moments and rebuild hope. She draws on decades of practice to offer steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people make changes that matter.

She creates a space where clients can speak honestly about stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and jealousy. Sessions focus on identifying clear goals and small steps toward them. She combines counseling and coaching to address daily functioning as well as longer term patterns.

Her background includes training in family systems, and she brings that perspective to issues like blended family challenges, communication problems, divorce, and commitment concerns. She also works with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and intimacy-related struggles. Her work looks at how past patterns shape current relationships and choices.

Tansie uses a mix of approaches to meet a person where they are. She draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy to tailor sessions to each client's needs. Conversations explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and together they choose practical tools to try between meetings.

She practices in Florida and offers therapy in English. People who want a therapist who is experienced, straightforward, and focused on usable change may find her approach helpful for navigating life transitions and relationship challenges.

How her approaches guide online therapy choices

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and trust. It helps people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears, and repeating relationship patterns by focusing on emotions and connection. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, letting the client lead the conversation while the therapist offers reflection and support to uncover what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking. Confirming formats ensures you pick a way to meet that fits your schedule and needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can still use attachment, client-centered, and CBT techniques online to talk through relationship issues, jealousy, grief, or everyday stress and to assign practical tools to practice between sessions.
