About Vickie
Vickie draws on 15 years of experience working with individuals through parenting challenges, career concerns, and big life adjustments. She helps people talk through family conflict, intimacy-related issues, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse. Sessions often look at small, doable changes that add up over time.
Her approach centers on listening first and then building goals together. She uses methods that help people notice patterns, practice new coping skills, and stay motivated when change feels hard. Mindfulness and skills from behavioral therapies are woven into practical plans tailored to each person.
Vickie also supports people navigating compassion fatigue, ADHD, grief around separation or divorce, and struggles with guilt or shame. She works with those facing substance use and impulsivity to find safer, healthier choices. When chronic pain or illness affects mood and daily routines, she helps people find ways to manage both symptoms and life demands.
If someone is unsure how to begin, Vickie encourages taking a single step such as filling out a short questionnaire to match with her. From there she and the client set priorities and make a plan that fits everyday life and personal goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Vickie uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely and follows each person's priorities, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and doable.
Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, reduce travel time, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to online sessions to focus on coping skills, problem solving, and steady progress over time.
