About Christine

Christine Frederick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who welcomes people seeking support for stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes a strength-based, humanistic stance that encourages clients to identify and build on their existing resources. Her practice addresses a wide range of challenges including depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting and caregiver stress, bipolar disorder, and end-of-life concerns.

Christine blends practical, goal-oriented techniques with a collaborative, person-focused perspective. She draws on Client-Centered principles to create a respectful therapeutic relationship, uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior, and applies Solution-Focused strategies to set clear, attainable steps toward change.

Christine aims to help clients discover usable strengths and weave them into daily life to improve functioning and wellbeing. She offers sessions through multiple online formats to increase convenience for those living in Massachusetts.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Christine integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions that are both collaborative and practical. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful therapeutic relationship and helps clients explore experiences and values in a nonjudgmental way, which can be especially helpful for processing grief, relationship concerns, and caregiver stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and addiction-related coping skills.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work itself. The therapist collaborates with clients to weigh goals, personal preferences, and life circumstances and then tailors techniques accordingly. That means sessions may emphasize emotion-focused listening at times and skill-building or short-term problem solving at others, depending on what will most effectively support progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging brings practical advantages for busy lives and people with mobility or scheduling constraints. These formats offer flexibility for follow-up, brief check-ins, and ongoing skill practice while maintaining continuity of care. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools to each format so clients receive focused support in ways that fit their routines.
