Frances "Tansie" Walker

Frances "Tansie" Walker, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 34 years of experience supporting people through difficult seasons and meaningful change. She brings a steady, compassionate style designed to help clients heal from life’s hurts, regain perspective, and reconnect with hope. In sessions, she invites openness and honesty about what is happening day to day, and works collaboratively to clarify goals and build a practical path toward the outcomes clients want.

She often helps when stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or overwhelm begin to take over, when work or life transitions call for a new direction, or when relationships feel strained and communication breaks down. She also supports clients navigating grief, divorce or separation, parenting challenges, and times when hope feels distant or faith feels shaken. When coping starts to include alcohol, substances, or other self-destructive patterns, she offers caring guidance to help clients understand what is driving the behavior and develop healthier ways forward.

Her work reflects an integrated blend of counseling, coaching, and life experience that considers the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. She offers a caring Christian perspective while respecting each client’s personal values and beliefs, tailoring the approach to support balance, freedom from painful issues, and forward movement.

Frances works with individuals and teens, parents and families, and couples. Her education includes an M.S. in Counseling and an Ed.S. in Family Systems from Georgia State University, along with undergraduate studies in Psychology and Sociology. In addition to decades of counseling experience, she has also spent 15 years as college faculty at University of Pheonix, Clayton State University, and the American College in Georgia.
