About Cindi
Cindi Frechette is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on practical ways to reduce worry and overthinking. She centers sessions on identifying the thoughts that drive feelings and finding clear steps to shift them. Her approach is down-to-earth and goal oriented, aimed at parents and adults facing stress around daily life and relationships.
Cindi emphasizes strengths and solutions. She helps people spot small patterns that cause big problems.
Background and approach
Together they map out resources and habits that make parenting and daily responsibilities feel more manageable. She uses a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, to help change unhelpful thinking and build steady coping skills. Narrative and client-centered ideas guide conversations about meaning and personal values.
With eight years of professional practice in Massachusetts, she has worked across community, outpatient, and inpatient settings. Cindi holds a Master of Arts in Social Work from Simmons College and maintains her LICSW credential. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Parents and individuals who want clear strategies, brief coaching-style guidance, and someone who listens without judgment may find this style helpful. Cindi aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable steps forward.

Approaches that fit busy lives and parenting demands
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals at the center. It emphasizes listening, understanding what matters to you, and shaping the work around your priorities. This approach helps when you need someone to hear your experience and support practical choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. That can be useful for anxiety, stress, panic, and parenting-related worry.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience. It invites short practices that reduce reactivity and help with staying calm during parenting challenges or life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust those methods based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to find practical tools you can use between sessions.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when in-person visits are difficult. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick access for brief coaching, homework check-ins, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking.
