Getting to know Frances Morken
Franny is a Certified DBT Specialist with extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, one of the most well-researched and effective approaches for people who struggle with emotional intensity, difficult relationships, and the kind of distress that can feel impossible to sit with.
DBT works because it doesn't ask you to simply think differently. It gives you concrete skills, skills for managing overwhelming emotions in the moment, for navigating conflict without making things worse, for tolerating uncertainty without spiraling, and for building relationships that feel more stable and reciprocal.
But skills alone aren't the whole picture. What makes Franny's work effective is the relationship underneath it. She brings warmth, genuine validation, and a directness that clients often find both grounding and refreshing. You'll know where you stand. You'll feel heard. And you'll leave sessions with something you can actually use.
Franny's work is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based approach that teaches practical skills across four core areas: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
DBT was originally developed for people who experience emotions more intensely than others, and it remains one of the most effective approaches for building the kind of stability that makes everything else in life feel more manageable.
Franny integrates these skills within a warm, relational framework, adapting her approach to each client's individual needs, history, and goals.
