About Rochelle Fried

Rochelle Fried is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 40 years of experience in psychotherapy, offering long-standing expertise across a wide range of life challenges. She helps clients build practical tools and skills to solve problems, manage daily demands, and cultivate resilience and a greater sense of personal agency.

Her practice encompasses treatment of anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship difficulties, along with couples and family therapy that address complex interpersonal dynamics. Over the course of her career she has worked with people of all ages and has focused on issues such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Rochelle's professional journey includes work in high-intensity medical settings, including the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit where she supported families during vulnerable moments, and custody mediation within the family court system. She spent 14 years at the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Center, beginning as a therapist and later serving as assistant director of the Psychosocial and Behavioral Science program, where she provided clinical care and supervised an ad hoc team of psychosocial professionals.

While at the cancer center she maintained a part-time private practice seeing adults, couples, and families, and in 1995 she moved into full-time private practice. Her approach is client-centered and collaborative, creating an empathetic environment that encourages growth and healing. Whether addressing stress, relationship struggles, or significant life transitions, she works with clients to identify goals and support meaningful change.
