About Frederick
Frederick Vickery helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues around identity and self-esteem. He works with a wide range of life changes including career shifts, bipolar concerns, eating and body image struggles, and anger or coping skills. Frederick is identified by his LPC and LPCC credentials and practices in Minnesota.
He approaches therapy in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings and what they want to change.
How Frederick works
Frederick uses clear skills and practical steps alongside listening and reflection. He draws on methods that help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. His background includes six years of clinical experience in inpatient and outpatient settings and work as a program and group therapist.
That mix gives him familiarity with crisis, ongoing care, and workplace-based support. Frederick adapts techniques to fit a person’s daily life rather than sticking to one formula. Common tools he uses include cognitive-behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts, skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation, and acceptance-based practices to clarify values and actions.
Attachment-informed ideas shape how he attends to close relationships and patterns. Therapy sessions aim to build skills and clearer choices. Outside of work he enjoys paddling, camping, and time with family.
He brings a practical, caring attitude to sessions and focuses on helping people make changes that feel meaningful to them.

How Frederick’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, targets patterns of thinking and behavior by practicing new responses and testing out different beliefs; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Frederick will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. He adapts tools over time and checks in to see what is helping so the plan stays collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can fit busy schedules or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or step-by-step skill work. These options help people fit sessions into work, travel, or everyday life while keeping therapy focused and useful.
