Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Dr. Freda adapts core methods for remote work, using cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior and to develop concrete coping strategies. Mindfulness practices are presented in accessible exercises that can be practiced between sessions. These approaches emphasize collaborative planning so that therapist and client agree on practical steps to try.
Existential therapy and solution-focused methods appear alongside those approaches to explore meaning, values, and immediate goals. Existential conversations support reflection on life directions and choices while solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable changes and on tracking progress through agreed-upon actions. Improvisation is sometimes used as an experiential way to try out alternatives and broaden options.
Online appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients can discuss which combination of approaches and communication formats feels like the best collaborative fit during an initial conversation.
