About Cindi
Cindi Frechette is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people cut through worry and overthinking. She focuses on practical steps that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Her work often centers on anxiety, ADHD, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, and anger management.
She uses straightforward, strengths-focused methods. Sessions look at the thoughts that drive feelings and the habits that get in the way. Then she helps people try small changes that add up to clearer thinking and better coping.
Background and approach
Cindi draws from a mix of approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. That mix lets her match tools to each person's situation instead of using one fixed method. Her clinical background includes a Master of Arts in Social Work from Simmons College and eight years of direct practice as a LICSW in Massachusetts.
Before independent practice she worked in community settings, in-home care, outpatient services, and inpatient clinical units. People come to her when they want practical coaching for life changes, help managing mood or impulsivity, or better ways to handle family and caregiver stress. She aims to make sessions collaborative and easy to follow, with clear steps to try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s needs and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and helping the person set their own goals. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, anger, and mood problems.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can help with stress, impulsivity, and managing strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cindi will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. She often blends techniques so the plan fits the real-life situation rather than following one method rigidly.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief coaching, follow-up between appointments, and when writing is a preferred way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
