Fred (Frederick) Theobald

Fred Theobald is a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and grief. He practices in Texas and brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions. People come to him for help with relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, sleep problems, and burnout. Fred uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients build better coping skills. He listens without judgment and works with each person’s priorities. Sessions focus on reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning rather than labels or tests. In therapy he blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas. That mix helps with problems like trauma, depression, compulsive behaviors, and problems with trust or boundaries. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when emotion regulation or intense reactions are a concern. Fred has worked across a range of life transitions and complex situations, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, first responder issues, and recovery from abuse. He supports LGBTQ+ people and older adults, and he pays attention to how past losses or abandonment shape present relationships. Sessions aim to clarify goals, practice new skills, and make incremental changes you can use every day. Fred describes therapy as a collaborative process where you set the pace. International clients can be seen, and sessions are scheduled based on the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it helps people improve boundaries and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Fred will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you progress. Clients often move between skill-based work and deeper attachment-focused conversations depending on their priorities.
