About FreEtta
FreEtta Nelson-Hemphill is an Arkansas LCSW (Licensed Certified Social Worker) with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, parenting struggles, relationship concerns, grief, and career challenges. She also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and life transitions.
Her approach begins with listening and asking clear questions to understand what is working and what is not in a person's life. She uses that information to set focused goals together. FreEtta commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Sessions often involve identifying patterns of thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing small changes between meetings. She can also use mindfulness-based tools to help with stress and anxiety, and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that repeat over time. Trauma-focused methods are employed when past events are linked to current distress.
FreEtta has spent decades supporting people from varied cultural backgrounds. She explains that therapy asks for time and effort, and she talks openly about both benefits and risks. Her style is practical: gather information, set goals, try interventions, and check progress.
People who are navigating midlife shifts, immigration-related stress, jealousy, issues around self-love, social anxiety, women-specific concerns, or young-adult transitions may find her experience relevant. Sessions are conducted in English in Arkansas, and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How her therapies translate to online sessions
FreEtta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often useful for anger, anxiety, and stress. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice physical sensations and emotional triggers without reacting immediately. Mindfulness tools can support calmer responses and better stress management. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and setting measurable steps forward. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also mean less need to be on camera if a phone check-in is preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed techniques to remote sessions while focusing on practical skills and progress.Areas of focus
