Cindi Frechette , LICSW

Cindi Frechette is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with eight years of clinical experience helping people shorten the hours spent in worry and overthinking. She focuses on practical, strengths-based strategies that aim to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning while honoring each person’s individual goals and values.

Her clinical interests include ADHD, anxiety, stress, parenting, relationship and family concerns, coping with life changes, and issues related to self-esteem, career, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, communication difficulties, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, trauma responses, and challenges common to young adults and women navigating life transitions.

In sessions she uses a collaborative, solution-oriented style to identify the thoughts that shape feelings and behavior and to map out realistic steps for change. Her work draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to tailor interventions to each person’s strengths and needs. Cindi aims to help people shift unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and move toward clearer priorities and more manageable routines.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cindi uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and experiences, creating space for people to be heard and to build solutions that fit their lives. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and navigating major life transitions.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often effective for anxiety, stress, panic, and mood-related difficulties.

Mindfulness Therapy is integrated into her work to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and responses to overwhelming thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cindi works with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Cindi is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of daily life.
