FreEtta Nelson-Hemphill, who many clients call “Fritzi,” is a Licensed Certified Social Worker practicing in Arkansas with 26 years of experience.
She helps people address problem areas that have emerged at different points in their lives by beginning with careful listening and thoughtful questions to form a clear picture of each person’s circumstances. Her goal is to understand what is working and what is not, then use that information to set collaborative, achievable therapy goals.
She most often approaches therapy from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy perspective, supporting clients to identify and restructure thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their concerns. She also explains that psychotherapy carries both benefits and risks and that making progress typically requires an investment of time and energy. She encourages clients with a positive, affirming attitude—“Oh yeah! You can handle this!”
She looks forward to meeting clients in this season of their journey.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A major advantage is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists and other licensed professionals provide care remotely, and clients may choose to switch providers at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, accessible option for addressing everyday mental health concerns.
