About Frances
Frances "Tansie" Walker is a Florida LMHC with 34 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and addictions. Tansie works with people facing career strain, intimacy problems, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
She uses a mix of approaches that center on emotions and attachment. That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existential ideas. Sessions involve talking through current struggles, identifying patterns, and trying new interaction strategies.
Tansie describes her work as counseling combined with coaching and life experience. She includes spiritual and Christian perspectives when clients want that. She also aims to respect each person’s values and beliefs while helping them regain balance.
Practical concerns often shape sessions. People bring specific problems such as communication breakdowns, infidelity, blended family tensions, substance use, or parenting stress. The therapist helps name the emotions behind those problems and develop steps to address them.
Her background includes an M.S. in Counseling and an Ed.S. in Family Systems from Georgia State University, along with undergraduate studies in psychology and sociology. Decades of counseling and college teaching inform her clinical style.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, focused goal-setting, and help exploring how attachment patterns affect present relationships. The work emphasizes understanding feelings, improving communication, and practical ways to change unhelpful habits.
How Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Can Translate Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and expressing core emotions tied to relationship patterns. It helps people name feelings, understand how those emotions shape interactions, and practice new ways of relating.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships. This approach helps people trace reactive patterns back to attachment needs and try different responses that build stronger connections.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective. It uses active listening and reflection to help someone clarify goals and feel heard while making choices about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether more emotion-focused, attachment, or problem-focused CBT techniques are used.
