About Cindi
Cindi Frechette is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She helps people shorten the time they spend worrying and overthinking. Her work often focuses on anxiety and stress and practical steps to manage daily life.
She uses a strengths-based, solution-focused style. In sessions she and the client identify thoughts that drive feelings and look for small changes that make a big difference. Cindi draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and narrative ideas to build new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Social Work from Simmons College and eight years of clinical practice. She has provided care in outpatient, in-home, and inpatient settings, and has experience with community-based supports. That mix informs a practical approach to common problems like panic, depression, and caregiver stress.
Cindi often helps people with parenting stress, relationship and communication problems, ADHD-related challenges, and work or career concerns. She also works with issues such as postpartum mood changes, guilt and shame, and managing impulsivity. Sessions focus on concrete strategies and realistic goals.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She will help you set priorities, practice new skills between sessions, and use the supports you already have. The aim is clearer thinking and fewer hours taken up by worry.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps clients clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindi will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals and what feels helpful. That can mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as needs change so the plan fits the person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a voice check-in fits a break at work. Text and live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use approaches like CBT and mindfulness in everyday life.
