Remote care tailored to families and developmental needs



Zita "Michelle" Frederic offers remote sessions that emphasize a strengths-based framework and collaborative problem-solving. In this approach she helps clients and caregivers identify existing resources, clarify goals, and build step-by-step plans to address school-related concerns, behavioral challenges, or life transitions. The focus is on practical strategies that match the client’s developmental stage and family context.

Her work is individualized, with treatment plans adapted to each person’s needs.
