Cindi Frechette, LICSW

Cindi Frechette is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts who helps clients reduce hours spent worrying and overthinking. She focuses on practical, strengths-based work that identifies which thoughts are driving difficult feelings and which small shifts can create meaningful change. Using a solutions-focused orientation, Cindi partners with individuals and families to clarify challenges, map available resources, and develop concrete steps toward clearer thinking and improved coping.

Her practice addresses a range of concerns including ADHD, anxiety and stress, parenting and family difficulties, relationship issues, depression and bipolar mood concerns, anger and impulse challenges, self-esteem and life-purpose questions, career stresses, and compassion fatigue. She also works with caregivers, parents experiencing postpartum concerns, young adults, and people navigating significant life changes.

Cindi draws on multiple evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, narrative work, and client-centered methods to tailor care to each person. With eight years of clinical experience, she combines practical coaching with therapeutic skills to help clients take steps big or small toward their goals. She is ready to collaborate with clients who want clear strategies, support with decision-making, and tools to manage everyday stressors.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual as the expert in their own life. It emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices that teach clients how to notice thoughts and sensations without being overwhelmed by them, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping with daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindi will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor care to what feels most useful for the client.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These formats support ongoing connection, timely coaching, and consistent momentum toward goals with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
