About Fred
Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. He practices in Texas and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. He welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ people and older adults. He focuses on practical steps that help clients feel steadier in daily life.
Fred aims to make therapy a place to talk through what feels hardest. He listens first, then works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. He uses hands-on tools to reduce stress, improve sleep, and ease intense emotions. He also helps people recover from relationship wounds and rebuild trust with themselves and others.
His approach draws from several evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-informed work. That means sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and working on close relationships. He also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
Fred frames progress as a step-by-step process. He supports clients in strengthening coping skills, improving communication, and finding meaning after loss or major change. He pays attention to how physical health, chronic pain, or caregiving stress affect mood and function.
Clients can expect a collaborative and respectful tone. He explains options plainly and helps people choose strategies that fit their life. To get started, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
