Getting to know Frankie Cancel
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC-D) with over fifteen years of experience providing counseling and clinical leadership across outpatient, residential, hospital, and community-based settings. My work has included direct clinical care, supervision, and program leadership within mental health and substance use treatment services.
My approach to counseling is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I value creating a supportive and respectful space where individuals can explore concerns, reflect on their experiences, and engage in the therapeutic process at a pace that feels appropriate to them. I work with adults navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, mood concerns, life transitions, substance use, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
In my clinical work, I draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered approaches, while remaining attentive to each client’s individual goals, strengths, and circumstances. I am committed to ethical practice, confidentiality, and culturally responsive care.
In addition to private practice, my professional background includes roles in program development, clinical supervision, and quality improvement within large behavioral health organizations. This experience informs my attention to clinical standards, coordination of care, and thoughtful treatment planning.
I provide counseling services through True Harbor Counseling, where my focus remains on professionalism, clarity, and supportive engagement.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients should know that my approach to counseling is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each individual’s experience. I view therapy as a process we engage in together, where your perspective, goals, and comfort level help guide our work.
I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and feel heard. Sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing room to explore concerns at a pace that feels manageable. I value clarity, transparency, and open communication, and I welcome questions about the process at any point.
My work is informed by evidence-based practices, and I approach counseling with attention to ethical standards, confidentiality, and professional responsibility. I recognize that starting therapy can feel uncertain, and I aim to make the process as clear and grounded as possible from the beginning.
Clients are encouraged to be active participants in the counseling process, and I work collaboratively to support reflection, understanding, and meaningful engagement in care.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My work with clients typically begins with an initial session focused on understanding what has brought them to counseling and what they hope to gain from the process. During this stage, we review relevant background information, discuss current concerns, and talk through expectations for therapy so there is a shared understanding of how we will work together.
As sessions continue, we collaborate to identify areas of focus and develop an approach that aligns with the client’s goals, preferences, and pace. Counseling sessions are structured but flexible, allowing space for reflection, discussion, and skill-building as appropriate. I regularly check in with clients to ensure the process feels supportive, clear, and responsive to their needs.
Throughout our work together, I emphasize open communication, confidentiality, and ethical practice. Progress is reviewed periodically, and the focus of sessions may shift over time as circumstances or goals change. The counseling process is intended to remain collaborative, respectful, and grounded in thoughtful engagement.
