About FreEtta
FreEtta Nelson-Hemphill is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arkansas with 26 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, grief, and trauma. She uses straightforward conversation and questions to understand each person's life and the problems they bring to therapy. Clients may hear her go by "Fritzi."
She begins by listening and building a clear picture of what is working and what is not. Then she and the client set practical goals together. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of thinking and acting that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
FreEtta often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they help explain a person’s reactions or past influences. For people dealing with trauma, she integrates trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories and responses.
Her practice addresses a wide range of life stressors including relationship and intimacy concerns, career and midlife adjustments, LGBT issues, immigration-related stress, and social anxiety. She also works with people facing jealousy, narcissism-related dynamics, and young adult challenges.
Sessions are practical and task-oriented. Expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and experiments to try between meetings. FreEtta explains the potential benefits and the effort involved, and she helps clients track progress toward clear, agreed-upon goals.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches fit with online work
FreEtta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can make it easy to carry exercises into everyday life. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to build attention and calm in the moment, useful for anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback arrive.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins on a work break, and let people use quieter surroundings or not be on camera when that helps. The therapist will help plan sessions and between-session exercises so therapy fits into daily life rather than adding extra burden.
