About Fred

Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a licensed counselor with 15 years of clinical experience who works from Texas and holds LPC and LPCC credentials.

Background and approach

He focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue, alongside many related areas such as attachment concerns, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, and coping with major life changes.

He welcomes LGBTQ clients and people navigating aging or separation, and he accepts international clients. Fred uses an integrative, client-centered stance that emphasizes practical skills and deeper personal exploration.

His practice draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work, and dialectical skills when appropriate. This blend is intended to help people develop healthier coping patterns, clarify values, repair communication, and reduce symptoms that interfere with everyday functioning.

Sessions may include reflection on relationship dynamics, skill-building for emotion regulation, and focused work on trauma processing when indicated. Clients may expect a collaborative process aimed at identifying concrete goals and flexible pathways to reach them.

He offers video, phone, chat, and messaging formats to accommodate different needs, and uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Fred draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as central tools in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to build more effective coping skills. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful behavior change, which can help with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Fred works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adapting techniques over time to find what fits best for each person. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with practical needs and personal values rather than relying on a single fixed model.

Online therapy with Fred is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work schedules, family obligations, or geographic constraints, while still engaging in structured, evidence-informed interventions tailored to individual needs.
