About Christine
Christine Frederick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, codependency, and related concerns.
Christine uses straightforward conversations to help people notice what is working for them. She leans on client-centered practices that start from the person’s own strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than long theory talks.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when thoughts and behaviors need direct attention. That can mean breaking down unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in daily life. Solution-focused methods are used to identify immediate, do-able steps that move a person toward a goal.
Clients who are worn out by caregiving, facing end-of-life issues, or dealing with substance problems can expect attention to both emotional strain and real-life demands. Christine will help name pressure points and work on skills for setting limits and managing urges or intense emotions.
She draws on experience with mood disorders, trauma and personality concerns to shape practical plans. Progress is measured by what a person can notice and do between sessions. The focus is on usable strategies that fit everyday life.
People who prefer direct, goal-oriented work and an emphasis on strengths will find a familiar style. Sessions are conducted in English in Massachusetts, and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on the person's existing strengths. In practice this means the therapist helps the client name strengths and use them to tackle current problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can break down unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and review how those changes worked in daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on next steps and small wins. It is useful when someone wants quick, practical actions to reduce overwhelm or improve a relationship pattern.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as work unfolds so sessions stay practical and goal-directed.
The main practical benefit of remote work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can save travel time and make it easier to attend during a break from work or between commitments. Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, confirm the exact online options before booking. Sessions aim to focus on clear skills, short experiments, and planning that can be practiced between appointments.
