About Francis

Francis Ndinya is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Francis frames the first step as an act of courage and offers steady support throughout the process.

He adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation instead of using one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. Topics often include coping with life changes, improving communication, managing impulsivity, and working through guilt or shame.

Francis draws from several therapy styles to match what a client needs. He uses tools that encourage mindful awareness, values-based action, and straightforward behavior change. The approach is collaborative - the person sets goals and Francis helps map steps toward them.

His background includes work with people facing chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, immigration-related concerns, and issues tied to infidelity or narcissism. He also supports men who are navigating life transitions, isolation, or concerns about purpose.

Sessions are provided in English and he is licensed in North Carolina as an LCMHC. International clients can be considered. Before booking, confirm the current session options that fit your schedule and situation.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and making changes after separation or loss.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. The therapist follows the person's concerns and reflects what’s said so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide whether ACT, a client-centered style, or other methods fit best and can be adjusted over time.

Session options are not listed here, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into weekdays or work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use video or phone in different ways to focus on skills practice, values planning, or emotion regulation without changing the core therapeutic work.
