About Quenette
Quenette Freeman, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety find practical ways to feel steadier day to day. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, doable steps you can try between sessions. Many come with worries about grief, anger, sleep, or low self-esteem and want tools that actually fit their life.
Quenette uses short-term work when that fits a person's goals, usually over several weeks.
Background and approach
She mixes cognitive behavioral approaches with mindfulness practices so clients learn to notice difficult thoughts and test new behaviors. Sessions tend to be direct and skills-focused, with time spent practicing techniques you can use right away. Her background includes eight years of clinical practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California.
That experience includes helping people cope with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, career stress, caregiver strain, and reactions like panic attacks. Quenette also supports people facing multicultural challenges and issues tied to military or first responder experiences. In sessions she centers each person's own story and strengths.
Conversations explore what matters now and which steps feel achievable. She uses motivational interviewing when people want support finding their own reasons to change. Practical gains are the focus - calmer nights, clearer thinking, fewer panic symptoms, or steadier moods.
If someone wants short-term skill building or a collaborative plan for longer work, Quenette adapts the approach to those goals.
Approaches for online anxiety and stress work
Quenette uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves clear exercises and experiments to test new ways of responding to worry and panic symptoms.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These exercises help reduce reactivity, improve sleep routines, and calm racing thoughts in moments of stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily schedule. That may mean a brief, skills-focused plan or a longer pathway using motivational interviewing to build lasting motivation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions that include guided exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are convenient for quick check-ins, homework support, or brief coaching between appointments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible so people can fit it into work, caregiving, or busy days.
