Fredrick Hodges, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Fredrick

Fredrick Hodges uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to therapy. He centers sessions on the individual's needs and works to create clear, practical steps toward feeling better. Parents reading this will find direct language and a calm, steady presence in his work.

He holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and has 18 years of professional experience. That background includes helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and navigate relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse and people facing depression or anger challenges. In sessions he adapts the conversation and plan to what each person needs most. He talks through problems and helps clients try new ways of handling situations.

This includes looking at how thoughts affect feelings and at practical skills for communication and coping. Parents concerned about behavior, discipline, or day-to-day stress will find a focus on realistic strategies. He also addresses issues like divorce and separation, communication problems, and loneliness.

For those with substance concerns, he brings experience with drug and alcohol addiction work. Fredrick practices in Florida and speaks English. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping them make steady changes that fit their life.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting challenges

Fredrick commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to each person's concerns and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps when parents or individuals need a respectful, steady space to talk through problems and decide what matters most to them.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it can help with anxiety, low mood, anger, and unhelpful patterns that affect daily family life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will work together with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and may blend elements from different approaches to fit the situation.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which offers flexibility for busy families and people with tight schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, try short check-ins, and continue progress when in-person visits are difficult. The varied formats allow practical work on communication, coping skills, and problem solving without needing to travel.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
