About Fred
Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. He practices in Texas and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and supports LGBT clients and those facing major life changes.
Fred focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and build routines that improve sleep and reduce anger. He also works with people facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, and career transitions.
His background includes work with trauma, attachment issues, and first responder concerns. He uses a mix of approaches so therapy fits each person - for example, skill-building for emotional regulation and guided processing for painful memories. He pays attention to how past losses or abandonment issues show up in daily life.
Fred draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. Those approaches shape practical exercises, values-based planning, and communication practice during sessions.
He is licensed as an LPC and LPCC and has worked across varied settings over his career. He accepts international clients who can schedule according to his Texas practice. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule with him based on availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. It often uses short exercises and practice outside sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and how they affect current relationships and self-worth; it can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and feeling more connected.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining skills practice with deeper processing over time.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during a work break. Some approaches translate well to brief coaching-style sessions, while others use longer conversations and exercises; together the client and therapist will pick what fits everyday life and goals.
