About Frederick
Frederick Vickery brings six years of clinical experience to work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating issues, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, relationship and family challenges, grief, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
He also addresses related areas like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication and control problems, and other personality and blended-family concerns. Vickery practices from an integrative stance that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
His style emphasizes meeting clients where they are, understanding individual values and goals, and tailoring interventions to support practical coping skills and meaningful change. Frederick holds LPC and LPCC credentials and bases his practice in Minnesota while accepting clients internationally.
Outside of clinical work he values nature and community, which inform a grounded, collaborative therapeutic presence. He aims to help people translate insight into actions that align with how they want their lives to be, using a mix of skills-based strategies and person-centered attention.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Frederick commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills-building, which can be adapted to remote homework, thought records, and behavioral experiments. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning acceptance and mindfulness skills to pursue a meaningful life despite difficult feelings, supporting work on life direction and committed action.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Frederick aims to understand each client's goals, strengths, and preferences and will discuss which methods make the most sense together, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These formats allow for regular skill practice, real-time coaching, and consistent continuity of care while making therapy more accessible for clients in different locations or with varying routines.
