Fredrick Hodges

Fredrick Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. He focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, depression, parenting pressures, and anger. He works in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

Fredrick centers sessions on the person in front of him. He listens first, then shapes the conversation to match each person's needs. That can mean setting small goals, practicing new ways to respond, or talking through painful events in a calmer way.

He uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problem drinking or drug use. He also draws on a client-centered style that puts the person's experience and priorities at the center of the work.

Fredrick emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. He aims to build a steady working relationship so someone feels understood and can try change at a comfortable pace. He describes starting therapy as a courageous step and offers steady support through that process.

Practical matters are part of his work. He tailors dialog and any plan to what each person needs right now. That might include communication skills for strained relationships, strategies for managing anger, or steps to cope with trauma reactions.

How Fredrick’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful place to talk through strong feelings like anger or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test different responses. It uses short, practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help manage impulses related to anger or substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT exercises and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. It also lets people try techniques between sessions and bring real-life situations into the conversation for practice.
