01About Frederick
Frederick Vickery is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship strain, and issues like addiction or body image concerns. He works with concerns related to LGBT identity, grief, career shifts, and coping with major life changes. Frederick brings a calm, direct presence and aims to make sessions a practical place to talk and plan.
He draws on six years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings in Minnesota.
Background and approach
His background includes work in experiential education and activity therapy with adolescents, and roles as an individual and group therapist within larger health systems. Frederick uses that range of experience to adapt to different needs. In sessions he blends several approaches rather than sticking to a single method.
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship dynamics. The goal is to pick practical tools that fit each person's situation. Frederick aims for a straightforward style.
He listens, asks clear questions, and helps people practice skills between sessions. He partners with clients to set realistic goals and tracks progress over time. Outside work he enjoys paddling, camping, and time with family.
Those interests inform a down-to-earth approach that values movement toward what matters to each person.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention from unhelpful struggle to meaningful steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that keep problems active and teaches practical techniques to change reactions and behaviors. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are closest to an in-person meeting and work well for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill reminders, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while still working with licensed professionals.
