Frances "Tansie" Walker

Frances "Tansie" Walker is a licensed mental health counselor with 34 years of practice. She brings long experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life shifts. Her work combines counseling, coaching, and life experience to support practical change.

Tansie focuses on clear goals set together with each person. Sessions are aimed at understanding what feels off and finding steps that lead toward relief and better daily functioning. She listens for the pressures that wear people down, including work stress, substance use, and relationship conflict.

Her background includes an M.S. in Counseling and an Education Specialist degree in Family Systems from Georgia State University, plus undergraduate studies in psychology and sociology. She has decades of clinical experience and many years teaching at the college level.

Her style blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and practical cognitive-behavioral tools. Emotionally focused methods and existential questions are used when they fit the person’s goals. The focus is on what helps someone move forward, not on jargon.

People come to her for help with grief, depression, addictions, relationship troubles, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and the stress of major life changes. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, communication problems, divorce or separation, and non-monogamous relationship issues.

Tansie works in Florida and holds the FL LMHC credential. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule with the therapist.

How these approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current connections and trust. It helps people understand patterns that show up in close relationships and guides changes in how they relate to others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and respect for the person’s values. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and steps. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, history, and preferences, and then try methods that match what the person needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional from other parts of Florida when scheduling or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
