How Fred works
Addictions, trauma and past abuse are areas he has worked with over many years. He also addresses relationship struggles, self-esteem, panic, and social anxiety in straightforward ways. Fred uses methods that encourage acceptance, present-moment awareness, and practical behavior change.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches depending on the situation. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use between meetings, not only on talking. He values the person’s own knowledge of their life and emphasizes small, realistic steps.
Work often includes building communication skills, managing impulses, and reducing avoidance. Financial worries, guilt, isolation, and the fallout from separation or divorce are addressed with concrete strategies. Fred’s style is direct but respectful, aimed at helping people regain control of daily rhythms.
He encourages honesty, practical problem solving, and steady progress. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and choose a session format that fits their needs.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Fred often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life they want, which can help with anxiety, depression, and avoidance.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with real-life experiments. CBT offers concrete tools for mood disorders, panic, and social anxiety by changing behaviors and thinking in small steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fred works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needs change so therapy stays useful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for full sessions that feel like in-person meetings, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or times when typing is easier. These options make it simpler to arrange consistent work around work, family, or travel commitments.
