About Zita

Zita "Michelle" Frederic brings three decades of social work experience to her practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Michelle offers a calm, patient presence and listens first to understand each person’s situation.

Her style is practical and strengths-based. She focuses on what people can do now to feel steadier. Sessions often include problem-solving, communication skills, and steps to rebuild confidence.

Background and approach

She adapts her approach to the person’s age and goals. Michelle has a long history working in Louisiana schools. That work included supporting students in special education and helping parents navigate the academic system.

She draws on that experience when parents talk about advocacy, school concerns, or behavior at home. People who work with Michelle can expect a collaborative pace. She aims to make next steps clear and doable, not overwhelming.

Progress looks different for everyone and she helps set realistic goals that fit each family’s life. Her sessions can address attachment concerns, isolation and loneliness, caregiver stress, communication problems, and questions around life purpose and self-love. She also supports young adults, people on the autism spectrum, and those managing intellectual disability issues.

Michelle provides straightforward guidance and steady support as clients work toward clearer routines and healthier relationships.

Online support

How therapeutic methods fit online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in ways that translate well to remote sessions. One approach focuses on practical problem-solving and building daily routines to reduce stress and anxiety; it helps when small changes can make the day feel more manageable. Another approach centers on attachment-focused work, helping people improve communication and rebuild trust in relationships by practicing new interaction patterns and reflection exercises.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss several options, and try what feels most helpful. Together you set goals and adjust methods as needed so the work fits your life and progress can be tracked in concrete ways.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, between-session support, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and shape therapy around your schedule and needs.
