About Fred
Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. He works with clients on relationships, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. Fred brings 15 years of experience and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
He uses plain, direct conversation to help people name challenges and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, like breathing and behavior changes, and on clearer thinking about what matters to you. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Fred draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. He often blends strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and support valued action. Attachment-informed work and client-centered listening are used when relationship patterns and early experiences matter.
His background includes practice in both Texas and New Mexico and work with a wide range of concerns, including first responder issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity-related stressors such as LGBT concerns. Fred aims to help people build routines that protect mental health while managing life demands.
If you are looking for practical tools alongside a thoughtful listener, he guides people to set small goals and track progress. The focus is on making therapy fit everyday life and on helping people move toward clearer priorities and more manageable days.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and early experiences, helping people understand how those patterns shape current connections and emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Decisions about which tools to use are collaborative and can change as you make progress.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional from a distance, which can help when regular in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
