About Frieda
Frieda S Dub is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Recredentialed (LCSW-R) in New York with 39 years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, eating concerns, and depression. She also focuses on issues such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, finding life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her approach is conversational and practical. Frieda adapts the session topics and pace to what each person brings. She listens for the problems that cause the most day-to-day trouble and helps set clear, realistic goals for change.
Sessions commonly include talking through thoughts and behaviors, learning small skills to manage anxiety, and planning steps to change problematic habits. Frieda uses techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods to address stress, addictive behaviors, and eating-related issues while also attending to relationship patterns and self-esteem concerns.
Over nearly four decades of work she has worked with a wide range of people in New York settings. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where practical steps matter and progress is tracked. Frieda encourages people to try things between sessions and then review what worked and what did not.
If someone is nervous about starting, she suggests beginning with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling an initial session to see how the approach feels. The first meeting is used to clarify goals and agree on a plan of work together.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy
Frieda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style methods look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to test and shift those thoughts, which can help with anxiety and social fears. Behavioral approaches encourage gradual exposure to avoided situations and practice of coping skills so uncomfortable situations become more manageable.She also uses practical strategies for addictive behaviors and eating concerns, including planning concrete steps to replace harmful habits and reviewing what works during follow-up. Choosing the best mix of approaches is part of the work; she and the client decide together which techniques fit the client's goals and preferences.
Specific online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will discuss format and timing during the matching and first session to match sessions to daily life and treatment goals.
