Fredrick Hodges, LCSW

Fredrick Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. He draws on 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. He also works with concerns like addictions, relationship conflict, parenting strain, and anger. His approach is respectful and straightforward, focused on clear goals and steady progress.

He blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor sessions to each person. Client-centered methods mean conversations that follow the client’s priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioral tools focus on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that increase distress, then practicing alternatives.

In sessions he aims to create a calm space to talk through immediate problems and set practical steps forward. That can include building routines, improving communication, or managing cravings and difficult emotions. He keeps recommendations simple and actionable so people can try them between meetings.

Fredrick understands how life changes like separation, isolation, and veteran-related stress can add pressure. He listens for what matters most and adjusts plans as needs shift. His work emphasizes steady skill building rather than quick fixes.

People who seek him out should expect a direct, respectful clinician who prioritizes the client’s goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How client-centered work and CBT translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client’s priorities and creating space to talk about what matters most. This approach is useful for building trust, clarifying goals, and guiding each session by the client’s concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and short-term strategies to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to focus on the most useful tools for stress, trauma, addiction, or relationship issues.

Online therapy can fit into busy lives by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule regular check-ins. It also allows for shorter or more frequent contacts when a quick skill check or coping plan is helpful. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking to learn what specific online or in-person formats are offered. Online work aims to make ongoing skill practice and follow-through more manageable without promising particular services.
