Frances J. Thomas, MSW, ACSW, LCSW |
|
Frances J. Thomas received her degrees
from St. Louis University and EAP training
through Washington University. She is licensed
in Missouri, is a member of the National
Association of Social Workers, is credentialed
through the Academy of Certified Social Workers
and is certified to provide ACSW and licensure
supervision.
Frances provides individual and group
counseling, and has had decades of experience
with both. Specialty areas include crisis
management for grief/bereavement, life problems,
trauma or neurosis related to health, job,
personal or relationship stress, abuse,
addictions and relapse. She also focuses on
unique issues of minority and/or women through
providing personal growth coaching, career and
educational mentoring. Skilled in developing
short term program series, she can work with
church ministries or private groups concerning
special needs, e.g. life-planning issues,
spiritual stress management or grief resolution.
Her solution-focused counseling, based on the
conviction that only God controls hope,
empowers clients to believe that they can take
charge of their lives even when reality seems
impossible to endure. She blends reality therapy
and cognitive behavior education so that clients
grow strength from within, in-spite of pressures
in their outside world.
** We are proud
to announce Frances Thomas' article "The Awesome
Power of Optimism: A Personal Journey to
HOPE" has been published in the book Overcomers, Inc.: True Stories of Hope,
Courage and Inspiration, complied by
Lynne Klippel. The article speaks
specifically about overcoming personal
medical and socio-cultural challenges
through hard work, and about spiritual
empowerment. Frances' own struggles
and accomplishments drive her to believe
that as long as there is a God, optimism
rules. Her counseling style presumes
that in spite of disease or circumstances,
some degree of abundant living is possible.
Please contact Frances via Agape or visit
Overcomers, Inc if you would like to
purchase the book.
