About Francis
Francis Ndinya is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming. Francis works from North Carolina and brings six years of professional experience to his practice.
He focuses on practical skills that can be used between sessions. That might include breathing and grounding skills for anxiety, short behavior experiments for motivation, or ways to notice and shift negative self-talk.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to fit what each person needs. Francis adapts his approach to match a client's goals. He draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness exercises, and acceptance-based strategies to help people manage difficult feelings.
He also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on what matters most to the person in front of him. Beyond those core concerns, Francis often addresses issues like caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, guilt, immigration-related stress, and isolation.
He also supports men dealing with identity and purpose questions and people coping with narcissistic relationships. His style is respectful and straightforward. Francis aims to build a collaborative plan so clients leave each session with a clear next step.
He encourages people to try small, realistic changes and check what works for them.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. Online ACT sessions can include exercises to clarify values and short behavioral steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior through simple experiments and practice tasks that can be assigned during digital sessions and reviewed later.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that feel like a good match. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what should change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills with visual feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit a short break. Live chat and texting work well for quick check-ins, tracking progress, or using brief coping strategies between longer meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow people in different places to work with licensed professionals.
