About Quenette
Quenette Freeman is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or big life changes. Quenette uses straightforward, time-focused work so people can see progress in everyday life.
She views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Quenette often uses brief therapy over several weeks to teach tools that people can use right away.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals rather than long, open-ended talk. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices to help change unhelpful thoughts and bring attention to what matters most. She also incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma symptoms are present and motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change.
These methods are adapted to fit the person’s pace and needs. Quenette has eight years of experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW). She works with concerns ranging from relationships and intimacy to caregiver stress, panic attacks, and issues tied to military or first responder life.
Her background includes supporting people facing multicultural and identity-related challenges. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Quenette uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist aims to create a space where your goals and values guide each session, and practical steps come from what you already know works for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches tools to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. It often includes short exercises to practice between sessions and helps with problems like panic, insomnia, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. That choice is collaborative - you and the therapist check what helps most and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video works well for deeper conversations and behavioral practice. Phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and getting short-term coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and consistent progress.
