About Freddie

Freddie Williams is an Arizona-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, and life transitions by creating a space where concerns can be explored honestly and without judgment.

Background and approach

His practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address patterns of thinking, emotion regulation, and relationship dynamics. Freddie emphasizes practical tools and collaborative planning so clients can identify clear steps toward their goals while building skills to cope with triggers, panic, shame, and isolation.

With training in substance use work and experience across mood and trauma-related issues, he helps clients navigate communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt, HIV/AIDS-related concerns, and post-traumatic stress. Freddie frames therapy as a joint effort, supporting people as they develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping clients manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor a mix of methods that fit their situation. This shared decision-making helps ensure that therapy stays focused and relevant as goals evolve.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into work and personal schedules. These formats support ongoing access to skill coaching, check-ins, and assignments between sessions, allowing clients to practice new strategies in daily life while maintaining consistent therapeutic momentum.
