About Vickie
Vickie Frizzell Pratt is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 29 years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. Her tone is steady and direct, and she focuses on practical steps people can use in daily life.
Vickie aims to make the therapy room a calm place to work through difficult feelings. She listens closely and helps clients set small, doable goals. Sessions move at a pace set by the person in therapy rather than by a fixed agenda.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and the effects of traumatic experiences. She also helps people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and major life transitions. Vickie pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment issues affect present relationships and behavior.
She draws from several grounded approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally focused strategies, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. These are used to reduce symptoms, shift patterns, and build coping skills that fit each person’s life.
Vickie offers care that respects diverse identities and cultural backgrounds. She provides services in English and American Sign Language. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule time based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. Online work with this approach looks like a calm space to be heard and to set goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical skills. In remote sessions CBT often includes short exercises and homework to try between meetings, useful for mood and anxiety concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins without a long commute. Some approaches lend themselves to short skill-practice or guided exercises that work well over distance, while other methods may require longer focused sessions. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and what will work best for your situation.
