About Frances
Dr. Frances Yahia is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with more than 15 years in private practice. She combines clinical work with teaching, writing, and leading retreats and workshops. She works with people who are facing relationship strain, family and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Her background includes a PhD in mental health and many years as a college professor of depth psychology. She has written books about the subconscious, the inner child, family relationships, romantic partnerships, and spiritual themes. That mix of academic and practical experience shapes how she works with clients.
She draws on a variety of therapeutic techniques within a spiritual psychology framework. In sessions she talks through patterns that keep people stuck, pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, and addresses the feeling states that underlie guilt and shame. She also works with problems such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and impulsivity.
Her approach tends to blend conversational exploration with structured tools. Clients can expect help identifying unhelpful beliefs, practicing new ways of communicating, and testing different responses in everyday life. She supports people processing divorce, money worries, and loss of life direction.

Approach and how online sessions support that work
Dr. Yahia integrates depth-oriented and spiritually informed methods with conversational and practical techniques. Depth psychology work looks at unconscious patterns, early attachment dynamics, and the inner child to understand where guilt and shame come from and how they affect relationships. Spiritual psychology brings attention to meaning, values, and life purpose and is used alongside concrete steps to change daily habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. She will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods to try, based on the client’s goals, history, and what feels useful in practice. That choice can shift as sessions progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, sessions that do not require video when that helps, or meetings that match a midday break rather than an evening commute. Ask about the specific session options available when you complete the matching questionnaire.
