About Fred

Fred (Frederick) Theobald is a licensed counselor who helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and stress. He offers calm, direct support for relationship struggles, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and caregiving stress. Fred works with LGBTQ+ people and those facing major life changes.

Fred brings 15 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, with credentials in Texas (LPC) and New Mexico (LPCC). He favors a practical, person-centered style that focuses on small, achievable steps.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room for deeper reflection when it’s needed. Therapy uses a mix of methods chosen to fit the individual. He draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and guide action.

Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect present life. EMDR is part of the approaches he lists for working with trauma and distress, and other skills-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy are used for emotional regulation. The work is collaborative - clients and therapist pick tools that match the client’s needs.

Fred sees issues through both psychological and practical lenses. He helps people build coping skills, improve communication, and regain routine after loss or disruption. The aim is steady progress that fits a person’s life and goals rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for sleep problems, anger, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and can be helpful for intimacy issues and communication problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try tools that fit the person’s needs. If something does not feel right, adjustments are made together so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and flexible timing for busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
