About Quenette
Quenette Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues such as guilt and shame.
Quenette emphasizes that people know their own stories and strengths. Her approach is practical and short-term when helpful. She often uses tools people can try right away to manage symptoms and make small changes in daily life.
In sessions she combines Client-Centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. That means she listens for what matters to each person, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and teaches simple present-moment awareness techniques. EMDR and Motivational Interviewing also inform her work when appropriate.
Her model is frequently brief and goal-focused, commonly structured around a 6 to 8 week plan for clients who want targeted support. In that time she shares coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to approach painful feelings like guilt or shame without avoiding them.
Quenette aims to help people notice small shifts that ease day-to-day life. She offers concrete practice between sessions and checks progress together. People who come with questions about parenting stress, caregiver burden, career strain, or the effects of past hurt often find this practical style fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy means she focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters. That approach helps people feel understood and clarifies goals for moving forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into practical steps and skills people can practice between sessions for issues like anxiety, panic, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories by guiding attention while recalling painful material; it is often applied when trauma or abuse is part of the story.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Quenette will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s goals, preferences, and the nature of the concern. She checks in about what’s helpful and adjusts the plan together as progress is observed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is running sessions now. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also supports using worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and homework between meetings to reinforce skill practice.
