Quenette Freeman, LCSW

Quenette Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 8 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of life challenges. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, parenting and career transitions, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, among other issues. She also addresses more specific concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, communication and control struggles, dissociation, domestic violence impacts, infidelity, veteran and first responder issues, multicultural concerns, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue.

Quenette frames therapy around the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses strengths that can be drawn on during change. She practices a brief therapy model lasting roughly 6-8 weeks and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) together with mindfulness-based protocols to introduce practical tools clients can begin using right away. Her approach emphasizes immediate, skill-based strategies to help clients meet defined goals and improve day-to-day experiences.

As a licensed clinician, Quenette aims to support and empower clients through collaborative work that honors individual goals, preferences, and resilience. She offers services in English to adults located in California.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and techniques to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation; it can be helpful for stress, anger, grief, and improving day-to-day coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Quenette works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to determine which methods or combination of methods will best support progress. This collaborative planning helps tailor short-term treatment goals and practical strategies.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how therapy is delivered. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access licensed professionals from varied locations and schedules. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care and the therapeutic relationship.
