About Frieda
Frieda S Dub is a licensed clinical social worker with 39 years of professional experience in New York. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, as well as those coping with addictions, relationship concerns, eating issues, and depression. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for someone who may be nervous or unsure. Frieda meets people where they are and adapts conversations to fit each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Sessions center on practical talk and clear goals rather than jargon. She pays close attention to communication problems, feelings of guilt or shame, and experiences of isolation and loneliness. She also addresses questions about life purpose and self-love, and supports people dealing with social anxiety and phobias.
Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made, so the work can change when needs change. Frieda emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every session. Over nearly four decades in practice, she has refined ways to help people build skills for daily life.
That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic steps forward. Her approach is collaborative and focused on what the person wants to achieve. People who come for help can expect clear conversation about goals, practical strategies to try between sessions, and steady support as they work toward feeling more able to handle stress and worry.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit into online care
Frieda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach she uses centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and stress; this helps people notice thoughts that make worry worse and try alternative ways of thinking. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to manage cravings, low mood, or eating-related urges; this gives concrete tools to use when situations feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and life situation, then try methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what is not, so the work develops together rather than being fixed up front.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or when written reflection feels more natural. These options help fit therapy into a busy schedule and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
