Janea Fredia

Janea Fredia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at The Scoggan Institute who provides therapy for children, adolescents, and adults navigating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and related conditions. With over 10 years of clinical experience, Janea offers a steady, compassionate, and skilled therapeutic presence, supporting clients across a wide range of clinical needs and levels of care.

Janea’s work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change occurs when clients feel both supported and appropriately challenged. She brings warmth, empathy, and clinical clarity into the therapy process, helping clients build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier responses to stress, uncertainty, and intrusive thoughts. Her approach emphasizes breaking avoidance cycles, improving communication, and addressing long-standing patterns that interfere with daily functioning and relationships.

Janea utilizes evidence-based, individualized treatment informed by Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR (practicing within scope). Her trauma-informed lens allows her to work effectively with complex presentations, including chronic anxiety, emotional dysregulation, eating-related concerns, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and body image distress. Her diverse background across outpatient care, intensive programs, correctional settings, and private practice enhances her ability to assess and respond thoughtfully to each client’s unique needs.
