About FreEtta
FreEtta Nelson-Hemphill is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of clinical experience. She introduces herself warmly and prefers to be called Fritzi by those who like nicknames. Her style is direct and practical with an emphasis on helping people notice what is working and what is not.
She typically begins by listening and asking questions to build a clear picture of a person's life. That information becomes the basis for straightforward goals.
How FreEtta works
Sessions focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so everyday problems become easier to manage. FreEtta often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it offers concrete steps people can try between sessions. Her practice includes support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes.
She also focuses on parenting concerns, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger, career stress, and trauma and abuse. Additional areas of attention include LGBT concerns, immigration issues, jealousy, midlife crisis, narcissism, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues, and young adult issues.
FreEtta draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused work when the situation calls for it, and she uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand long-standing patterns. She aims to be practical while still exploring deeper experiences that affect present life. She sees clients in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens, sets goals together, and helps people try changes that fit their daily lives.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
FreEtta commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that make problems worse, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete exercises and strategies. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, life situation, and preferences. That process may mix CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic reflection, or trauma-focused techniques depending on what emerges in early sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress notes, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
