About FreEtta
LCSW (Licensed Certified Social Worker) FreEtta Nelson-Hemphill has 26 years of clinical experience in Arkansas. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, self-esteem, trauma and grief, and related life challenges. Sessions are guided by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused work when appropriate.
FreEtta listens first and asks questions to build a clear picture of a person's day-to-day life. She uses that information to set practical therapy goals. Her usual starting point is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Mindfulness methods are used to help people notice and manage distress in the moment. Psychodynamic elements help look at patterns that repeat over time and affect relationships and self-image. Trauma-focused work addresses past harms that continue to cause distress now.
Her approach is straightforward and task-oriented. Sessions involve talking through problems, trying new ways of thinking, and practicing different behaviors between meetings. Progress is tracked against the goals the person and FreEtta set together.
She has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds across a long career. Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How her approaches translate to online care
FreEtta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes setting specific goals, practicing skills between sessions, and checking progress, which can fit well into remote work. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice present-moment reactions and build simple breathing or grounding practices to reduce distress; these exercises are easy to try during online meetings.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns in relationships and self-image. That work explores stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape choices. Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative. She will help clarify goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on how a person responds.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss format preferences during the initial questionnaire so scheduling and session length match everyday life needs.
