About Tzipora
Tzipora Frager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland with 24 years of experience. She works with people who are stressed, anxious, facing addiction concerns, dealing with relationship difficulties, family conflict, or depression. She also addresses codependency and related issues such as attachment struggles, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
She keeps sessions straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical changes could help. She invites clients to talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment and helps them name unhelpful patterns. That can include noticing people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self around others.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Maryland across a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Over the years she has supported people coping with chronic illness, grief, adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver strain, and substance use concerns. That breadth informs case-by-case planning.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversation and skills work. She works collaboratively to set goals and try practical steps between meetings. Progress is tracked in concrete ways rather than vague promises.
Her approach is direct and steady. She helps people develop clearer boundaries, improve communication, and manage anxiety or urges tied to addiction. For anyone who keeps putting others first, she focuses on small, doable shifts that fit into daily life.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in her work include cognitive-behavioral strategies, which help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active, and skills-focused work such as communication and boundary-setting practice to address relationship strain and codependency patterns.Another useful approach is behavioral planning for addiction and urges, which breaks problems into small, manageable steps and uses practical experiments to test what works. These methods aim to make progress measurable and concrete rather than abstract.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with clients to decide which techniques to try based on their current needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so people can work on goals between meetings. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life.
