Background and approach
She listens without judgment and highlights the strengths people already have. When helpful, she offers gentle challenges so clients can move forward and try new ways of coping. Her work often includes practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to reduce distress and improve coping.
She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to keep the focus on each person’s goals. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change. Vickie has experience supporting people with ADHD and compassion fatigue alongside issues such as intimacy, self-esteem, and career stress.
She also addresses family-related topics, communication problems, and chronic health concerns in individual work. Sessions aim to be straightforward, goal-focused, and adapted to what each person needs. People meet with Vickie by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions are scheduled through the platform after completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging times that fit each person’s life.
How Vickie uses therapy approaches online
Vickie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT offers concrete exercises and short experiments to try between sessions.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can be useful for managing intense feelings and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Vickie listens to each person's goals and preferences and adjusts methods as needed. She will discuss which tools seem most useful and revisit the plan together as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and messaging works for brief updates or flexible communication across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily routines.
