Frederick Vickery

Based in Minnesota, Frederick Vickery brings 6 years of clinical experience and a background that blends creative and humanistic training. He holds a BFA in Art, an MA in Humanistic Psychology, and a graduate certificate in Co-Occurring Disorders.

Frederick began his career leading group therapy as a professional experiential educator in the Appalachian Mountains, serving as a senior field instructor and a wilderness EMT. He later worked in Activity Therapy with hospitalized adolescents before relocating to the Twin Cities from Athens, GA in 2012. Since then he has practiced across several major health systems, providing individual therapy, program and group work, and employee assistance counseling in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

His approach is integrated and eclectic, drawing on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, existential psychotherapy, and motivational interviewing. He adapts these tools to meet each person where they are and supports movement toward the life they want to create, working from genuine care combined with developed clinical skill.

Frederick is licensed to practice in Wisconsin as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC number 7921-125) and in Minnesota as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC number 1835). In his time off he enjoys paddling Minnesota’s lakes and rivers, camping, spending time with his family, and participating in his faith community. He is committed to accompanying people on the journey from suffering toward living in alignment with their values and engaging meaningfully with life.
