About Frances
Frances He is a California psychologist with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Frances also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. She lists life purpose and self-love among areas she addresses.
Frances frames clients as the experts in their own stories. In sessions she helps people identify strengths and practical steps they can try between meetings. She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based tools to untangle overwhelming thoughts and create clearer next steps.
Her main clinical methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. With CBT she helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Solution-Focused work looks for what is already working and builds on small, achievable changes.
Sessions often focus on immediate problems like managing workplace stress or social anxiety, while also opening space to consider longer questions such as life purpose. She encourages concrete strategies for communication and coping, and she supports people dealing with separation, caregiver strain, or feelings of isolation.
Frances speaks English and practices in California. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The process is aimed at finding practical steps and clearer direction, not quick fixes.
How Frances' approaches translate to online work
Frances commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her practice. CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and then try different behaviors to see what changes. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to the exceptions - what already works - and builds small, practical steps to repeat those successes.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Frances works with each person to match methods to their goals, concerns, and day-to-day life. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the approach over time rather than committing to one rigid plan.
