Cindi Frechette , LICSW

Cindi Frechette is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She focuses on helping people reduce worry, manage anxiety, and handle everyday stress. Her work often centers on parenting challenges, ADHD, and life transitions, and she pays particular attention to issues affecting women.

Cindi uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. She helps clients identify thoughts that feed difficult feelings and looks for small shifts that make a difference. Sessions emphasize strengths and concrete steps rather than long lectures or abstract theories.

Her background includes an MA in social work and eight years practicing as a LICSW in varied settings. That experience includes working with people in outpatient and community contexts where problem-solving and real-life changes matter most. She brings a calm, focused style to each meeting.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Cindi listens first, then maps out short-term goals and simple strategies. She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods to tailor each plan.

People looking for help with stress, parenting, relationship concerns, mood problems, or career pressure will find a practical orientation. Sessions aim to reduce daily burdens and build clearer next steps that fit the client’s life.

Approaches and Online Support That Fit Your Life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s goals first, then shaping sessions around what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs an empathetic space to sort priorities and find direction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and can be useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness therapy adds simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with anxiety, impulsivity, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods suited to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients and therapist adjust the focus as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing notes and reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
