About Fred
Fred Farrar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 30 years of clinical experience. He focuses on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. He aims to help people build on their own strengths and take practical steps toward feeling more steady and capable.
Fred takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. He listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. He uses goal-oriented methods to break big problems into manageable steps. Sessions often include skill practice and small behavior changes that fit into everyday life.
Over three decades of work have included helping people facing substance use, panic, social anxiety, and persistent low mood. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, impulsivity, control struggles, and the stress around separation or divorce. Money and financial issues are one of the areas he can address alongside mood and relationship concerns.
Fred draws on several therapy methods, including acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. He matches methods to each person’s needs and preferences rather than using a single fixed approach.
He encourages small steps that add up over time and invites people to try strategies between sessions. If you want to explore whether he could be a fit, follow the site steps to start a match and schedule a first session.
How his approaches shape online therapy
Fred uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that keep repeating despite effort. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fred works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He explains options, tries techniques together, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in practice.
Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone practice skills in the settings where challenges actually occur. Talk with the therapist during the match process to plan session length, frequency, and any practical preferences.
