Francesca Corea, LPC, LMHC

Francesca Corea is a licensed mental health professional with nine years of clinical experience who helps people navigate anxiety, stress, life transitions, and low self-confidence. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida International University. She is also a certified DBT therapist, bringing specialized training in skills-based approaches to emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Francesca combines clear communication, active listening, and perceptive clinical insight to help clients identify practical steps toward greater emotional balance. She has experience working with individuals and groups and supports people managing depression, adjustment challenges, and mood management concerns. Her work emphasizes restoring a sense of calm so that honest communication and healing can begin.

Therapy with Francesca is collaborative and task-focused, with opportunities to work on skills and practice strategies between sessions. She draws on client-centered principles, cognitive-behavioral tools, DBT-informed techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s strengths and goals. Her approach aims to feel accepting, genuine, and interactive while helping clients reconnect with purpose, strengthen self-compassion, and build sustainable coping strategies.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Francesca integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to support clients in an online setting. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where clients lead the pace of change and feel heard - this approach is helpful for self-esteem issues, life transitions, and exploring values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and mood management. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. Francesca works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. Clients can expect a partnership that emphasizes practical strategies alongside empathy and support.

Online therapy with Francesca offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and daily life, and they allow clients to practice skills in real-world contexts with ongoing guidance from a licensed professional.
