Christine Frederick, LICSW

Christine Frederick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts who brings a humanistic, strength-based perspective to clinical work. She has worked for more than a decade with adults and families addressing depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse, addiction, post-traumatic stress, marriage and family concerns, some personality disorders, grief and loss, end-of-life matters, and caregiver fatigue. As an LICSW she is a social work clinician licensed to provide independent clinical services and ongoing therapeutic care. Her practice emphasizes identifying and building on existing strengths so those resources can be applied to real-life challenges and goals. Christine works collaboratively with people to discover which personal assets can be woven into everyday routines and relationships to support improved well-being. Her focus on practical strengths and clear goals informs treatment choices and helps guide progress over time. She values a compassionate, human-centered process that meets people where they are and supports steady steps toward the changes they want to make.

Approaches and Options for Online Therapy

Christine Frederick commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy into her practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship that supports self-exploration and confidence building - it is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through structured techniques and practical exercises - it can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and behavioral challenges related to addiction. Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-oriented approach that concentrates on strengths and concrete steps toward desired outcomes, making it useful for clients seeking rapid, practical progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with licensed professionals - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can continue via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
