About Vickie
Vickie builds sessions around each person's story. She listens first and then helps set clear, practical goals. Many clients come for help with stress, relationship strains, life transitions, or persistent low mood. She uses conversation, feedback, and exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people facing complex issues. That experience shapes a patient, steady approach to therapy. She pays attention to how thinking patterns and everyday habits affect feelings and behavior.
Vickie draws on several ways of working, tailoring methods to what fits each person. She often combines empathy-focused listening with tools that change thinking and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused techniques are used when helpful.
She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and supports those navigating gender identity, cultural stress, or major life changes. Sessions aim to build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and help people manage daily challenges more effectively.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and habits shape feelings and behavior and offers straightforward tools to shift them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships and daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vickie will talk with you about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness practices or brief skill drills between sessions to reinforce change. If you want to explore online work, ask about the session types offered when you schedule.
