About Fredrick
Fredrick Hodges is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He frames sessions around practical changes and respectful listening. He aims to make the first step less daunting for people seeking support.
Fredrick uses a client-centered style to keep conversations focused on each person's values and goals. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try manageable behavior changes.
Background and approach
This combination is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with substance use. Sessions are shaped to match what each person needs. Fredrick emphasizes clear communication and a straightforward plan rather than jargon.
He is attentive to trauma and abuse histories and works at a pace the client can follow. Parenting challenges are part of his practice focus, and he helps parents clarify expectations, rebuild routines, and reduce daily stress. He also addresses relationship strain, anger, isolation, and the effects of divorce and separation.
Fredrick has worked in Florida across different settings for nearly two decades. He explains clinical ideas in everyday language and focuses on small, achievable steps. People who prefer a practical, supportive approach may find his style helpful.

Online approaches that fit everyday life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person set priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify values and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and habits related to addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit each person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, and daily life.
