I would like to thank you for our sessions together. I am thankful that you taught me how much my procrastination is linked with my anxiety and stories that I tell myself that are from past experiences. I will not forget what we talked about. You are a -wonderful- therapist!
More about Frederick
- 23 years' experience

- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 23 years of experience working with children, single parents, families, veterans, and the homeless. I have helped clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, PTSD, substance abuse, OCD and ADHD. I also counseled many people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is companionate and kind with direction. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and empathy, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, emotional, humanistic, holistic, and solution focused therapies. In other words, psychotherapy approach consists of compassion and empathy with my clients’ suffering, and by promoting change through action helps my clients feel safe, understood and relieves symptoms.
I will adapt our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek help to fulfill a happier and productive life by taking steps towards change. If you are ready to take that first step, contact me and I am here to guide, support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Fred is outstanding! I’ve made more progress in the short time I’ve met with him than any counselor in the past. Fred understands my frustrations, but doesn’t let me throw a potty party. It’s all about moving forward with my life and being the best that I can be!
Thank you for all your help!
