About Fred

Background and approach
Fred uses exercises, reflection, and real-world practice to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. He explains ideas plainly so people can try them right away. Fred blends several evidence-based approaches to match a person’s goals.
He uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He draws on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and handle hard feelings without getting stuck. Many clients work on relationship and intimacy issues, communication problems, and coping with loss or major transitions.
He also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, chronic pain, or the stress of caregiving and first responder work. Therapy addresses specific situations and everyday functioning. Fred holds LPC and LPCC credentials and brings experience working across diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients and older adults.
He offers video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair you before scheduling.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Fred commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered techniques in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive patterns. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and use mindful acceptance to move toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can better understand themselves and make choices that fit their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss the options and work with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexible options to fit busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit care into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
