Frederick Vickery , LPC, LPCC

Frederick Vickery is a licensed mental health professional based in Minnesota who brings six years of clinical experience to his work with adults facing a wide range of concerns. He holds LPC and LPCC credentials - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and offers care in English to both local and international clients.

His practice focuses on common and complex challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and body image concerns, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of interest include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and blended family and communication problems. He also supports people navigating mood disorders and co-occurring conditions.

Clinically, he draws from several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). He tailors these methods to meet each person where they are, working collaboratively to identify values, build practical skills, and move toward meaningful goals. Although he engages with international clients, he is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current connections and can be particularly helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the person in finding their own solutions - this approach aids self-esteem, grief work, and personal growth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Frederick Vickery works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, explore goals, and tailor methods from these approaches so treatment fits the individual's preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy options include video sessions, phone calls, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or distance from in-person care. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, skill-focused support and make it easier to integrate sessions into everyday life.
