About Frances
Dr. Frances Morrison helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship strains. She sees people struggling with trauma, grief, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, addictions, and self-esteem issues.
She also supports those handling life changes, parenting challenges, and identity questions. Dr. Morrison holds the credential IL Psychologist 071.010035 and practices in Illinois.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed therapy to help people manage intense feelings and cope with hard situations. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady emotional regulation.
Background and approach
She mixes approaches to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. Her typical work combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful thinking and build emotion-regulation skills. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to help clients find personal values and improve close relationships.
The goal is calmer responses and better everyday functioning. Dr. Morrison aims to make sessions feel direct and understanding.
She asks about real-life patterns and then helps people try small changes that fit their day. She encourages ongoing tracking of progress so goals are adjusted as needed. With five years of clinical experience, she brings practical problem-solving and a steady, empathetic style.
People who want to work on anger, coping skills, or stronger relationships will find a clear, skills-focused approach. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies what matters most so actions follow values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practice and small experiments, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve sleep and eating habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion-regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which combination fits the client's goals and daily life. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one path from the start.
Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue steady practice of skills between meetings and brings therapy into the context where real-life patterns happen.
