About Francesca
Francesca Corea is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
Francesca uses straightforward conversation and practical tasks to help people gain clearer perspective. Sessions emphasize active listening, skill building, and setting small goals to test new ways of handling intensity and conflict. She often assigns brief exercises to try between meetings so progress continues outside the session.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when those fit the situation.
Clients can expect a collaborative process where therapist and client set goals together and review what helps. Francesca describes herself as direct but supportive, prioritizing clear communication and practical strategies. Her work aims to reduce avoidance, strengthen coping skills, and improve daily functioning rather than promise quick fixes.
Francesca trained at Florida International University and brings nearly a decade of experience attending to mood, impulse-related, and relational concerns. She offers services in English for people located in Florida and asks prospective clients to confirm session options when they book.
How Francesca uses practical approaches during online work
Francesca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT helps people notice triggers, try different responses, and measure whether those changes reduce anger and distress over time.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach calm-down techniques, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. DBT skills are practical tools for managing high arousal moments and improving communication when feelings run hot.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Francesca will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and daily life. That choice is revisited as progress is made and needs shift.

Ask about session lengths and any adjustments to match work breaks, family routines, or quieter times of day.
