Fredrick Hodges, LCSW

Fredrick Hodges is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship strain. He emphasizes respect and compassion in every conversation and adapts his approach to each person's needs.

In sessions he listens first, then helps people decide what matters most to them. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's pace and priorities. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Fredrick has worked with people dealing with trauma, depression, anger, and parenting challenges. He also supports those facing communication problems, divorce and separation, and drug and alcohol addiction. He brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to those concerns.

His style is straightforward and practical. He helps people break problems into smaller steps and track small changes that add up. He will work with each person to shape a plan that fits their life and goals.

Fredrick practices in Florida and sees work as a collaboration. He encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a small step and reach out. Starting a conversation is often the first move toward change.

How client-centered and CBT work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for people who want to feel accepted while they talk through difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or family obligations simpler. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find that remote sessions still allow focused, practical work using client-centered listening and CBT tools.
