Fredrick blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions.

Together, he and the person map small steps toward clearer thinking and better daily routines.

He is licensed as an LCSW in New York and Florida and practices from Florida. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, a short intake process helps match goals to a plan and schedule.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and understood, and it supports work on difficult feelings like grief, shame, or anger.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns, manage anxiety, and reduce depressive behaviors.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Fredrick will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferred ways of working. Together they will choose strategies and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and make scheduling around work or family easier. If you want to proceed, confirm the current session options before booking so you know the available ways to meet. The therapist will help plan a structure that fits the person’s routine and goals.
