About Fredrick
Fredrick Hodges is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, and anger. He communicates directly and uses plain language in sessions.
He focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions look at what is happening now and what patterns keep repeating. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and understand a person's perspective. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Fredrick helps people who are struggling with communication problems, divorce and separation, and drug and alcohol addiction. He also supports those coping with isolation, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and questions about forgiveness and self-love. He keeps discussions straightforward and action oriented.
During the first meetings he works to map current challenges and sets small, concrete steps forward. He adjusts conversational focus based on what the person says and how they respond. Progress is tracked through observable changes in coping, reactions, and daily routines.
Sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings. He encourages practice of new responses to anger and frustration. Appointments aim to reduce repeated conflict and increase clearer communication with others.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says. Online this means sessions start by letting the client describe their concerns while the therapist clarifies what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through anger, relationship strain, or parenting frustrations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. In remote sessions CBT often includes short homework tasks, tracking reactions to anger, and practicing new behaviors between meetings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that feed into repeated anger outbursts.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you determine which approach fits best. This is a collaborative process that adapts as issues change.
