About Francis
Francis Ndinya is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also supports those facing life changes and workplace wellbeing concerns. Francis speaks English and works with clients from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.
Francis uses a practical, respectful approach in sessions. He listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then he tailors conversation and strategies to the client's goals and daily life. That might mean skill practice, thought work, or brief experiments between meetings.
He draws on several methods to shape care, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. These tools are used to reduce unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and increase clarity about values and next steps. Francis emphasizes straightforward, usable steps rather than jargon.
Across six years of clinical work he has supported people with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and issues related to immigration and cultural adjustment. He also helps with relationship challenges like separation, infidelity, and control struggles, without assuming one solution fits everyone.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how to make that change fit into real life. Francis frames therapy as a collaborative process and adjusts the pace to match each person's readiness and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Francis will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. The aim is to find tools that feel useful in everyday life rather than imposing a single method.
