Getting to know Frances Merz
Frances Merz is a Licensed Professional Counselor, license number 37PC00409500. I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from the College of Idaho.
Since childhood, I have found immense satisfaction in aiding others. This passion is reflected in my work, from organizing community events to spearheading school fundraisers. Over the past 15 years, my career in mental health has allowed me to engage with diverse communities in varied contexts.
Often, the desire for change brings people to counseling. They may seek to improve a situation, resolve an issue, make a decision, or gain insight into their personal lives. In response, I employ a range of counseling techniques, adopting a tailor-made approach based on each client’s unique needs and strengths. Commonly, cognitive behavioral, rational emotive, and solutions-focused approaches form the foundation of my sessions, alongside psychoeducation.
Together with my clients, we identify and understand the issue before setting mutual goals. My approach is warm and nonjudgmental, providing a safe, nurturing environment for growth and healing. I have experience working with individuals, families, adolescents, children, high-risk youth, and court-mandated clients across clinical, home, and online settings. My expertise includes anxiety, depression, self-esteem, social skills development, conflict resolution, and parenting skills. Additionally, I offer consultancy for Weight Loss Surgery, supporting clients pre- and post-operation.
Each counseling journey is a partnership requiring your hard work, energy, and courage. My approach is flexible and personalized; treatment techniques are adapted to your unique needs and strengths. One-size-fits-all does not apply here because every person requires a distinct approach. I believe in maximizing your counseling experience.
