About Frances

Dr. Frances Yahia is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She holds a PhD in mental health and has worked in private practice, taught depth psychology at the college level, and led workshops and retreats. Her background includes writing books on the subconscious, the inner child, family relationships, and spiritual journeys.

Her approach blends psychological work with spiritual psychology ideas. Sessions often look at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. She helps people name feelings like shame, abandonment, or isolation and then tries practical steps to change day-to-day behavior.

Dr. Yahia often supports people facing midlife transitions, questions about life purpose, and difficulties with intimacy or communication. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, body image, and money-related worries. The therapy process typically includes talking through recent problems and tracing how earlier experiences influence current choices.

Clients can expect a reflective, exploratory style that mixes insight with action. Homework or reflective exercises may be suggested between sessions to reinforce progress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Dr. Yahia works from a depth psychology perspective that looks at how early relationships and the subconscious shape current behavior. This approach helps when patterns from the past repeat in present relationships, or when people feel stuck in recurring emotional responses.

She also integrates spiritual psychology techniques that bring attention to meaning, inner child material, and deeper life questions. Those methods can help people who want to connect day-to-day choices with broader purpose and spiritual themes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the individual make steady changes.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving duties. Because session formats are not specified in this profile, confirm current session options before booking so you know what will be offered.
