Fred Sacklow, LCSW

Fred Sacklow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, and other life changes. He lists a wide range of concerns including trauma, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting, career strain, ADHD, and issues common to veterans and men.

Fred uses straightforward, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions focus on understanding what triggers strong reactions, noticing patterns, and learning small, repeatable skills to respond differently. He draws on several evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage feelings and behavior.

He pays attention to attachment problems, codependency, control and commitment concerns, and shame or guilt that keep people stuck. Work often includes building clearer boundaries, improving communication, and reducing impulsive or avoidant responses that undermine relationships.

Clients can expect a collaborative style: goals are set together and steps are adjusted as progress is made. Exercises may include values clarification, thought-recording, or skills practice designed to be used outside sessions.

Fred has spent much of his career helping people in midlife transitions, veterans, and men facing role and identity questions. He also supports those coping with parenting strain, sleep and eating disruptions, and compassion fatigue. Practical problem solving and steady skill-building are central to his approach.
