Fred is genuinely the best therapist I’ve ever had. I’ve been seeing him for maybe two years now and his dedication to his craft is truly admirable and the reason I recommend BetterHelp to so many people I know. I feel as though it makes therapy so accessible and that everyone on earth could genuinely benefit from having someone listen to them and (very important) take notes and challenge what they say. It is your right to feel heard. And so many people feel so undeserving.

More about Fred

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Florida with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth across diverse life stages.
I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for clients dealing with trauma, self-esteem concerns, family dynamics, and interpersonal struggles. My approach is particularly attuned to helping individuals work through isolation, life transitions, guilt, shame, and attachment challenges.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide targeted support for men's issues, military veterans, young adults, and those experiencing midlife transitions. My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding, empowerment, and collaborative healing, helping clients develop deeper self-awareness and meaningful personal strategies.
I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate resilience. Together, we can work towards transformative personal growth and emotional well-being.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
