About Cindi
Cindi Frechette is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who focuses on helping people reduce worry and manage everyday stress. She blends practical strategies with clear steps so clients can move from overthinking to action. Her style aims to be straightforward and supportive for those juggling busy lives.
With eight years of professional experience, she draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often look at the thoughts that drive feelings and identify small changes that make daily life easier.
How Cindi works
She also helps clients spot and use strengths and outside resources to reach goals. Cindi works with common concerns such as anxiety, stress, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, and issues around parenting and relationships. She pays attention to caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and the challenges young adults face.
Practical problems like career questions, impulsivity, and life purpose are also part of her focus. Her approach mixes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to create tailored plans. Clients can expect conversations that lead to concrete next steps and regular check-ins on progress.
The aim is to build skills that help beyond the therapy room. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. People who want to begin choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Cindi’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps people notice their strengths so they can choose changes that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, panic, depression, and many daily coping problems by teaching specific skills and steps to try.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what is working. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using and which to change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is preferred. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match work, family, and daily routines.
