Christine FrederickLICSW

Christine Frederick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Christine centers conversations on a person’s strengths and goals to make therapy feel useful and realistic.

She draws from client-centered approaches that keep the person's experience central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Solution-focused work is part of her practice, which means short-term goals and concrete next steps are common parts of sessions.

Christine has 14 years of clinical experience in the region, including work with depression, PTSD, substance use, caregiver fatigue, and end-of-life concerns. She aims to meet each person where they are and to tailor strategies to real life demands like parenting or work stress. Her background includes helping people manage relationship and intimacy issues as well as complicated grief.

In sessions she listens for strengths clients already have and then helps turn those strengths into practical plans. She avoids long lists of jargon and instead offers clear, achievable actions. People often leave sessions with specific things to try between meetings.

Therapy with Christine emphasizes collaboration. She helps set short-term goals while also addressing deeper patterns like attachment or communication problems. This mix can support steady progress for everyday struggles and big life transitions.

How Christine’s approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. It helps people feel understood and figure out what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes and short-term goals that move someone toward what they want to see change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and what feels practical. She often combines listening, CBT tools, and solution-focused tasks so each plan fits the person’s life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into the day, for example by saving travel time, fitting a check-in during a lunch break, or allowing a shorter phone conversation when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work between sessions, which supports progress even when meetings are brief or spaced out.
