About Fred
Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience based in Texas. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, anger, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to career or life change.
He keeps sessions practical and direct. Conversations focus on current problems, patterns that keep those problems repeating, and steps that help reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. He uses plain language and concrete exercises so people can try new ways of responding between sessions.
Fred draws on several established approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods show up as skills practice, values work, and attention to how past experiences shape present reactions.
He also addresses issues that often appear alongside anger - sleep problems, codependency, caregiver stress, chronic pain and first responder concerns. Work can include behavioral strategies, communication skills, and grounding or emotion-regulation practices.
Sessions are framed around the client’s goals. The therapist helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and track what helps. Fred sees clients in Texas, holds credentials as TX LPC and NM LPCC, and offers services in English. International clients are accepted.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and committing to actions that match those values. It helps people reduce struggle with unwanted feelings and move toward what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that feed anger and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for managing intense reactions and improving communication.
Fred treats approach selection as a collaborative process. He will help figure out which methods fit the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That decision can shift as work progresses and as different skills prove helpful.
Confirm the therapist’s current session formats before booking since specifics are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Many licensed professionals use these advantages to help clients practice skills in real-life settings and maintain continuity of care while juggling work and personal commitments.
