About Fred
Fred Lombardo is a California-based licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and self esteem. He focuses on practical steps clients can use to feel more confident and motivated. He speaks English and aims to make the first step feel doable for someone who is nervous about reaching out.
Fred approaches sessions from a respectful, collaborative stance. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and works with their strengths. Conversations focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Therapy draws on a mix of approaches suited to the issue at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help with stress and sleep by training attention and easing reactivity.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or want to make career or lifestyle changes. Psychodynamic ideas can help untangle patterns that repeat across relationships. Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs and readiness.
Fred commonly helps with communication problems, control issues, jealousy, panic attacks, social anxiety, and coping with life changes. He also lends support for compassion fatigue and attention-related challenges like ADHD. The goal is clearer choices and more sustainable habits, built one step at a time.
