About Freddie

Freddie Wilson is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 30 years of practice. He helps people who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, career challenges, mood disorders, addictions, and changes that come with life transitions.

Background and approach

He aims to make first steps toward change feel manageable and supported. Freddie creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and decisions.

He focuses on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions are intended to help clients gain skills, clarify priorities, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

His approach draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work and on cognitive behavioral therapy for thoughts and behavior. Those methods are used to identify patterns, build communication skills, and practice small changes that add up over time.

Freddie adapts tools to fit what each person needs in the moment. He has worked across many areas including trauma and abuse, ADHD, depression and bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue.

He also supports people facing adoption or foster care questions, blended family issues, aging or hospice concerns, immigration matters, and challenges common to veterans. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused.

Freddie helps clients set realistic steps and checks in on progress. The aim is to leave each meeting with something concrete to try before the next session.

Using Gottman and CBT Online

Freddie often uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve communication. That approach focuses on practical exercises and skill-building to reduce conflict and increase connection. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to ease mood and anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Freddie will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and he adjusts the plan as needs change. Together they set small goals and review what works in real life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video lets people work face-to-face when convenient. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can support quick updates, ongoing reflection, or flexible scheduling across a busy week. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to use alongside work, caregiving, or travel.
