Background and approach
She treats life changes and transitions as opportunities to identify strengths and set small, concrete goals. Sessions typically include clear strategies to reduce overwhelm, practice new behaviors, and build motivation. Her style is collaborative and respectful.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them name what matters most. Friederike aims to make therapy feel manageable with short-term tools and longer-term planning when needed. People who come to her often want help calming anxious thoughts, grieving a loss, or finding confidence after a setback.
She encourages small steps that add up to real change and stays focused on what the client finds useful in daily life. To begin, she asks about current struggles, personal strengths, and realistic next steps. That information shapes a practical plan that fits each person’s schedule and goals.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions that fit your life
Friederike uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and navigate life changes. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies that reduce day-to-day stress and interrupt anxious thinking. These tools are useful when worry feels overwhelming and quick relief is needed.Another strand emphasizes working through grief and building self-esteem by setting small, achievable goals. Sessions can include steps to re-engage with meaningful activities, track progress, and practice new ways of thinking about setbacks. That kind of work helps when confidence or motivation has dipped after a loss or major transition.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Friederike collaborates with each person to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts plans over time based on how things are going, so the focus stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum while working around school, work, or family obligations.
