About Fred
Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 15 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and relationship problems. He also supports people coping with grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career strain, compassion fatigue and codependency.
Fred focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or basing self-worth on others. He uses approaches that help people notice thoughts and feelings, learn new coping skills, and practice different behaviors between sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what they want to change. Fred draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based methods to make room for difficult emotions. He also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
His work often centers on building stronger boundaries, reducing reactivity, and improving communication. Sessions can include skills practice, real-life experiments, and focused reflection on relationship patterns. Fred helps people track progress and adjust methods as goals evolve.
He has experience with a wide range of concerns including first responder stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, abandonment issues, dissociation, and challenges related to aging. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, users follow the site process to match and schedule their first appointment.
How sessions work
Approach and what online sessions involve
Fred commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and it focuses on identifying personal values and taking action that matters. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behavior and provides concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms.He also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early relationship patterns show up now. That approach helps when people struggle with fear of abandonment, clinging behaviors, or difficulty trusting others. All of these methods are used to help people understand patterns and practice different responses in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean focusing on skills work, values-based action, or examining relationship patterns over time.
Confirm the specific session options before you book so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. Discuss practical needs during the first scheduling steps to pick the best way to meet.
