About Christine
Christine Frederick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. Christine draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered ideas to explore strengths and solution-focused techniques to set achievable steps forward.
In a typical session she works with clients to name a problem, identify small changes to try, and check what worked. Sessions emphasize clear steps rather than long theory. Christine supports people who are managing caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues linked to aging and geriatric needs.
She has experience addressing substance use and related family problems, including drug and alcohol addiction, codependency, and communication or commitment issues. She also works with people facing attachment difficulties, dependent or antisocial personality concerns, and the aftermath of divorce or separation.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in Massachusetts. Christine combines structured techniques with attention to each person's strengths to build practical coping and problem-solving skills.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT in practice means identifying specific thought patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and reviewing what helped. She also uses client-centered techniques to listen for strengths and priorities, then uses solution-focused steps to set short-term, practical goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with a client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as goals shift or different techniques are tried.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people try new coping strategies without major schedule changes.
