Christine Frederick, LICSW

Christine Frederick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and caregiver stress. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping people find manageable steps forward.

She uses a strength-based, human-centered way of working. That means she starts by identifying what already works in a person’s life and builds from there. Sessions often include straightforward problem-solving and tools to manage difficult emotions and behaviors.

Christine draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, listening space. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and track progress in clear ways.

With 14 years of experience, she has supported people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among other concerns. She also has experience with aging and geriatric matters, hospice and end-of-life conversations, and caregiver challenges.

People can expect a collaborative relationship where the therapist and client decide practical goals together. Christine encourages using personal strengths and small, doable changes to improve daily life and relationships.

How Christine’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs support to identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to try different ways of thinking and coping. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and tracks progress in short steps to create momentum.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving duties, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and help people keep therapy going during busy or unpredictable weeks. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions, and the focus remains on clear goals, practical tools, and steady support.
