About Vickie
Vickie Frizzell Pratt is a Nebraska licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) with 29 years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and bipolar concerns. She works with people who are facing major life stresses and complex emotional problems.
Her style centers on listening first and making space for what matters to the person in front of her. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, EMDR, and mindfulness approaches. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to emotions, thoughts, and behavior.
Vickie has worked across many kinds of life challenges. She helps people cope with abandonment issues, attachment problems, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and the stresses that come from blended family situations. She also supports those dealing with body image, control and communication problems, codependency, and the effects of trauma.
Her approach aims to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck and develop tools to respond differently. She uses straightforward discussion, skills practice, and reflection to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. Sessions often include mindful awareness, targeted cognitive techniques, and, when appropriate, EMDR processing.
Vickie offers services in English and American Sign Language and works with people from diverse backgrounds. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Vickie uses emotion-focused and evidence-based approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and making sense of core emotions and interaction patterns. It can help people name difficult feelings and shift the ways they react to those feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting working relationship so clients can find their own solutions and clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Vickie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with emotion-focused work, adding CBT skills, or using mindful practices and EMDR elements when appropriate.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions let them maintain regular contact with a therapist while managing day-to-day responsibilities. Licensed professionals will discuss format and frequency when arranging the first appointment to match a client's needs.
