About Frances Berniger

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Texas with 20 years of experience. My first career choice was as a Special Education Teacher for sixteen years. My Counseling focus is with Adults , 35+, experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, being a spouse/child of individual with a Personality Disorder, specific to Narcissism. You will be provided a safe and compassionate space. Guidance will be provided utilizing CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Mindfulness, Strength Based and Solution Focused approaches. You will be encouraged to achieve success though counseling while acquiring skills and strategies for meeting life’s challenges. In my four years as an independent contractor with BetterHelp, it appears the majority of individuals prefer Audio sessions. I am open to video sessions if that would be your preference.

“Great first session! Look forward to working with Frances.”

“She’s wonderful. Wish I could have met her as a friend rather than a therapist. It’s very important for me to speak with an inclusive person and someone who isn’t in this profession for the $$. She has helped me greatly.”

“Frances is gradually helping me get over the death of both my parents with the compassion of a dear friend as well as the professional analysis of a skilled craftswoman. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend her is because I’d want her all to myself! Lol”

“France's is helping me through the hardest time of my life I feel comfortable and at ease talking to her.. <br /> Thank you.”

“I feel like I’m so scatterbrained with so much going on. But Frances can draw it all up in a bow with helpful worksheets and techniques. Frances is very understanding, and she has chosen the correct profession!”

“Frances is a very great therapist. She’s kind, understanding, and attentive. I always look forward to our sessions.”

“I cannot say enough about Frances. She is so intuitive, kind, responsive and a superb listener. She blows me away at every session with helping me towards important revelations. I am so lucky to have her and Betterhelp.”
