About Quenette

Quenette Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Sessions are practical and focused on skills that can help improve everyday functioning.

Quenette treats anger as one of several common problems that show up in relationships and work. She encourages clients to identify patterns that lead to flare-ups and to try short, manageable changes. Her style is direct and solution-focused, with an emphasis on building tools clients can use between sessions.

Her approach often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She pairs CBT with mindfulness exercises to help people notice their reactions and choose different responses. The goal is to reduce reactivity and increase options when frustration starts to build.

Quenette typically offers brief therapy blocks of six to eight weeks to teach concrete skills and track progress. She also incorporates motivational interviewing strategies when people are unsure about change, and she uses EMDR where trauma memories are a clear part of the problem. These methods are presented in simple, step-by-step ways so clients can practice them outside sessions.

People who choose her often want focused work on practical problems such as sleep disruption, parenting strain, work stress, or lingering grief. Quenette asks new clients to clarify goals early so the work stays targeted and time-limited.

How Quenette uses CBT, mindfulness and EMDR online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name their priorities and feel heard. It helps when someone is deciding what to change or wants collaborative goal setting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift those parts. CBT is helpful for anger that shows up as recurring thoughts or patterns at work or at home.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for situations where distressing memories keep triggering strong reactions. In brief steps it helps people process those memories so they interrupt current responses less often.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options and make decisions together with each client based on goals and what feels manageable. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and practical.

Confirm current session formats before booking if you need a specific option. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with her about how to schedule sessions so they fit into your everyday routine.
