Fredrick Hodges, LCSW

Fredrick Hodges, LCSW, brings 18 years of clinical experience to his work with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Fredrick emphasizes straightforward conversation and clear goals rather than jargon or long theoretical explanations.

He adapts the pace and topics to what each person needs. Sessions are shaped around concerns like communication problems, parenting strain, anger, and feelings of isolation. He also addresses issues such as divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, and veteran-related concerns.

Fredrick uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where people lead the discussion and feel heard. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build clearer coping skills. Together these approaches guide practical changes and clearer ways of relating to others.

Over 18 years, he has worked with a broad range of people in Florida and emphasizes realistic, achievable steps. He believes therapy is a collaborative effort and adjusts plans as needs change. The focus is on helping people find better ways to manage stress, improve relationships, and move toward more satisfying daily routines.

Taking a first step can feel difficult. Fredrick aims to make that step clearer and more manageable by listening, planning small goals, and supporting clients through the process.

How Fredrick's Approaches Shape Online Work

Fredrick blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Client-Centered Therapy means the person leads the conversation while the therapist listens with respect and adapts to their needs; it helps when someone wants a calm, nonjudgmental space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety, mood, and addictive urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fredrick will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and daily demands. He adjusts plans as progress or life changes make new priorities clearer, so therapy stays relevant and usable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Some people prefer a video meeting for face-to-face conversation, while others choose an audio call for lower bandwidth or a brief phone check-in to fit a lunch break. Discussing practical arrangements happens early so sessions match your schedule and comfort.
