About Frances

Frances "Tansie" Walker is a licensed mental health counselor with 34 years of experience. She practices in Florida and offers a calm, straightforward approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and addiction. Tansie aims to build a working relationship where clients set goals and work toward useful change.

She blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. That can include Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in relationships, Attachment-Based Therapy to examine patterns that began early in life, and Client-Centered work that follows what the client brings to the session.

Background and approach

She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral and existential approaches when they fit the situation. Tansie draws on long clinical experience alongside counseling and coaching skills. She describes her work as addressing the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - and she offers a caring Christian perspective while respecting each client’s values.

This approach is applied to concerns such as intimacy issues, communication problems, blended family dynamics, and codependency. Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling and an Education Specialist degree in Family Systems from Georgia State University. She has additional undergraduate study in psychology and sociology and decades of counseling and teaching experience in higher education.

Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and building healthier relationship patterns. Tansie works with individuals, parents, teens, and couples to help them regain balance and find forward movement in life.

Online support

How her approaches work online and why they matter

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at strong emotions and how they shape connections with others; it helps when relationships feel stuck or distant. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early patterns of relating and how they show up now, which can be useful for managing trust, abandonment, and closeness issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and pace, letting the person guide what matters most in sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan together over time to match needs and preferences. That collaborative stance helps keep work relevant and directly aimed at what the client wants to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and reading body language, phone works when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins, live chat can fit quick problem-solving, and messaging offers ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
