About Frederick
Frederick Fearday is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, in Florida with 40 years of experience. He works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity. He also helps people dealing with abandonment, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and social anxiety.
He keeps a relaxed approach in sessions while staying focused on clear goals. Conversations are straightforward and practical. He listens for what matters most and helps shape steps that fit everyday life.
Fred adapts treatment to the person in front of him rather than using one fixed method. He checks in about goals and explains how proposed steps connect to those goals. That makes it easier to see what helps and what should be changed.
Sessions cover the feelings, memories, and situations that feed guilt or shame. He talks through how those feelings affect relationships, work, and self-view, and works with clients on ways to carry those feelings with less weight. The work can include skills for managing anxiety and clearer ways to repair or rebuild relationships when possible.
People who choose him can expect a down-to-earth tone and steady focus on practical progress. He invites questions about pacing, methods, and next steps so the plan stays useful and realistic.
How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques include approaches that focus on understanding and changing unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior. These methods provide practical exercises and conversational work to help manage anxiety, mood swings, and stress responses.Trauma-informed practices concentrate on helping people process difficult memories and reactions at a pace they can handle. This type of work often involves grounding strategies and careful review of past events to reduce their ongoing impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, and they will suggest approaches that fit what you want to change or understand. You and the therapist will review how the methods are working and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or quieter part of the day. Phone sessions can be useful when a brief audio check-in is needed, while video lets you use visual cues during conversation. Ask about formats during the matching steps so sessions match your routine and needs.
