Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a licensed counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship challenges, and trauma. He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT individuals, and works with those coping with major life changes or caregiver strain.
In sessions Fred aims for clear, practical steps. He listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck. He uses straightforward tools to manage strong emotions, improve sleep, and reduce overwhelm. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and how to get there.
Fred draws on several evidence-based approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. He mixes methods to match each person’s needs, working at a pace people can manage. The goal is better coping, clearer communication, and stronger self-worth.
He holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices in Texas. He has supported people with problems like abandonment, codependency, chronic pain, first responder stress, and trauma-related symptoms. His background includes helping clients rebuild after separation, loss, or career transition.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then move toward the life they value. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-worth. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with intimacy issues and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fred will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques over several sessions and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect from different locations when travel or relocation is a factor. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment ideas, and CBT for remote sessions so you can practice skills and get feedback between meetings.
