LUCIE FRANK
PSYCHOLOGIST, THERAPIST

HOW I WORK
Talking about your problems with someone else can be very helpful. However, in many situations, a friend, partner, or family member may not be the best option. That is when working with someone who can provide optimal conditions becomes important - someone with an independent and objective perspective, who listens actively, cares, and offers a safe, confidential space where you can speak openly.
Finding the right therapist or counselor, however, can sometimes be challenging. There are many different approaches, and not every method suits every situation. Likewise, each person has a unique personality, and not all therapeutic relationships are an ideal fit.
That is why I would like to briefly introduce my approach to therapy and counseling, so you can get a clear sense of what to expect when meeting me.
MY APPROACH
As mentioned, many psychotherapeutic approaches can be defined and classified in multiple ways based on their theoretical models. Many therapists and counselors also combine more than one approach, which can sometimes make it difficult to identify their primary framework.
I am trained in the integrative psychotherapeutic approach. This perspective emphasizes a flexible and adaptive attitude toward different therapeutic models, combining various techniques and insights in practice. The core principle of integrative therapy is to create a personalized approach for each client, respecting their unique needs, while also honoring the authenticity and individuality of the therapist.
IN PRACTICE
The most important element of the integrative approach is the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client. While therapy or counseling may not always be comfortable and can sometimes bring up difficult topics or emotions, I strive to ensure that my clients never feel alone in the process. We work together as a team, supporting each other throughout the journey.
INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLE (DYADIC) THERAPY
I work as an individual and couple (dyadic) therapist and counselor.
When you come to me as an individual, you and your experiences are the center of my focus and attention.
If you come with a partner, family member, or another significant person, the focus naturally shifts. I do not take sides, nor do I align exclusively with one person. In this context, your relationship itself becomes the client, and my primary attention is on helping the relationship thrive.
I cannot change the other person for you, but I can help you transform your relationship, improving communication, understanding, and connection so that it works better for both of you.
