Getting to know Francis Bax

Hi there, I'm Francis! Francis A. Bax, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master, earned a Master’s in Counselor Education from Canisius University. I am licensed in New York State and Nevada as a Mental Health Counselor and certified as an Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor in New York State. With over 30 years as a clinician, training supervisor, and expert in case and care management, I bring extensive experience to my practice. My approach My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, motivational, and rational-emotive counseling, providing a flexible method tailored to each client’s needs. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, empowering healthier ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges. The humanistic aspect focuses on personal growth and self-acceptance, encouraging clients to connect with their true selves and potential. Motivational and rational-emotive techniques foster understanding of how emotions influence behaviors and decisions, helping clients find motivation and clarity. I emphasize a collaborative and systematic approach, working as a team with clients to develop practical strategies for positive change. This partnership creates shared responsibility and progress. Clients appreciate how I relate to them personally, meeting them where they are and addressing their unique needs without a one-size-fits-all solution. I strive to be approachable and down-to-earth, helping clients feel comfortable and understood, which builds a strong therapeutic relationship. Many clients have expressed that my personable style and ability to connect at their level make counseling more engaging and effective.
