Fred begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying their strengths. He believes clients know their own lives best and uses that perspective to shape goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on real problems people face day to day. His background includes long-term clinical work supporting people with trauma, bipolar disorder, depression, and substance use concerns.

He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness practices to help people tolerate difficult feelings and reconnect with what matters to them. Fred aims to create clear next steps each week so progress feels tangible.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Fred uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen mood and anxiety. CBT is often used to reduce panic, manage depression, and address addictive behaviors through clear, practical exercises.He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to improve emotional awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right combination of methods is a shared process. The therapist will listen to a client’s goals and preferences, then try tools from different approaches to see what fits best. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send updates between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still working on meaningful change.
