Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a psychologist with a general practice specializing in the geriatric population. My approach is based on the belief that everyone is always striving to be the best they can be. My job is to help them do that by reflecting and helping them evaluate what they are/have been doing and whether that is working for them. I work with mood disorders, grief and loss, anxiety, end-of-life issues, and adapting to life changes. Using a client-centered, cognitive behavioral modality, I provide a warm, empathic place in which it is safe to express oneself without judgment.
I have been practicing at the doctoral level for 25 years, and worked with a Master of Counseling Psychology for9 years before that. I am licensed in Florida and Vermont.
I have a postdoctoral Masters in Psychopharmacology and can discuss medication with you. I cannot prescribe and I do not push clients into taking medication. If you are already taking medication, I can help you understand why your physician prescribed it, how best to take it, how to talk to your physician about it, and can consult with your physician to ensure you are taking the optimal medication at the best dosage for you.

Frances Griffis is a psychologist whose general practice has a special focus on the geriatric population. She approaches therapy from the belief that people are continually striving to be the best they can be, and she works collaboratively with individuals to reflect on their choices and assess what is – and is not – working in their lives.
She sees people managing mood disorders, grief and loss, anxiety, end-of-life concerns, and adaptation to life changes, and she also addresses stress, parenting challenges, relationship and family conflicts, anger management, self-esteem issues, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Her work uses a client-centered orientation combined with cognitive behavioral methods to create a warm, empathic setting where clients can express themselves without judgment.
Griffis has practiced at the doctoral level for 25 years, following nine years of earlier practice at the master’s level in counseling psychology. She is licensed to practice psychology in Florida, holding license number PY5664, and in Vermont, holding license number 048.0069422.
She holds a postdoctoral master’s in psychopharmacology and can discuss medication options with clients. She does not prescribe medications and does not encourage clients to take medication if they prefer not to. For clients already prescribed medication, she can help explain why a physician selected it, advise on how to take it effectively, support conversations with the prescribing clinician, and consult with that clinician to help ensure the medication and dosage are well matched to the client’s needs.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been found to be similarly effective as traditional in-person work.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that best fits their needs, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to incorporate regular treatment into busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients have the option to change therapists if they decide a different fit would be better. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical, adaptable route to address everyday mental health concerns and life challenges.
