About Cindi

Cindi Frechette is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who focuses on reducing worry and helping clients move from rumination to practical change.

Background and approach

She uses a strengths-based, solution-focused orientation to identify the thought patterns that contribute to difficult emotions and to clarify what resources and strategies a person can use to shift mindset and tackle problems.

Cindi’s practice highlights areas such as ADHD, anxiety, stress, relationships, parenting, depression, and mood concerns, and she draws on a mix of evidence-informed modalities to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and narrative methods, emphasizing collaboration and concrete steps rather than lengthy rumination.

With eight years of experience as an LICSW, Cindi offers a pragmatic coaching style that aims to shorten the time spent stuck in worry while building skills for long-term change. She invites clients who want focused, practical work on emotional regulation, life transitions, and improving daily functioning to explore a plan together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a collaborative atmosphere where the client's goals and values guide the work; this approach helps when people need a nonjudgmental space to explore priorities and make self-directed changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and addressing impulsivity. Mindfulness therapy builds awareness of present-moment experience and can support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and coping during life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, and will adapt methods over time rather than prescribing a single path up front. That collaborative stance helps ensure the work remains relevant and actionable for the client's situation.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow therapists to deliver the same structured techniques and reflective conversation as in-person work.
