About Frieda
Frieda S Dub is a New York LCSW-R with 39 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, eating concerns, and depression. She speaks English and practices from New York.
Frieda helps people talk through communication problems and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia. Her work centers on practical, conversational therapy rather than jargon. Sessions focus on identifying what is contributing to painful feelings and on small, concrete steps a person can try between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens, reflects, and adapts the conversation to what each person brings. She describes treatment planning as a shared process rather than a fixed formula. That can include setting short-term goals, trying out different coping strategies, and noticing which changes feel helpful in daily life.
Frieda frames progress as gradual and individualized. She does not promise outcomes, and she asks people to consider realistic, manageable steps when addressing issues like addiction or eating concerns. The focus is on steady work and clearer understanding of feelings and choices.

How her approaches translate to online work
Frieda describes her methods as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are delivered through straightforward conversation and practical exercises. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies specific patterns keeping stress or anxiety active and tests small behavioral changes to interrupt them. This is useful for day-to-day anxiety, social anxiety, and managing stress.Another approach is supportive exploration of difficult emotions like guilt and shame. That involves naming the feeling, tracing where it comes from, and trying different ways of responding to it so the feeling has less control over decisions. This work can help with forgiving oneself and reducing isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative stance makes it easier to switch focus if a different method seems to fit better.

Licensed professionals, including Frieda, can use the online format to keep continuity of care and adapt pace to each person's needs.
