About Frederick
Frederick Vickery helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles. He works with concerns like eating issues, self-esteem, addictions, grief, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Frederick is an LPC and an LPCC practicing in Minnesota and speaking English.
He uses a straightforward, person-focused style. Sessions aim to understand who someone is and what matters to them. Frederick adapts methods to fit each person's situation and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
His background includes work across inpatient and outpatient settings and employee assistance programs. He has six years of clinical experience and has worked with people in program, group, and individual roles. Earlier in his career he led experiential education and activity therapy, which shaped his practical, action-oriented approach.
Frederick draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. In sessions he mixes these methods to help people build coping skills, shift patterns of thinking, and reconnect with values and relationships. He aims to create a calm, direct space for people to talk through difficult experiences.
Frederick focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions and on building skills for managing emotions and improving communication. He also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and commitment or attachment concerns.
Approaches and how online therapy works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift how they connect with others, which can aid relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Frederick will discuss these methods and mix techniques to match a client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs guide which tools are used and how they are applied.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper therapeutic work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice skills between sessions.
