About Vicki
Vicki tends to keep sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She listens for what matters to each person and then tailors conversations and plans to fit those needs. Common areas she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, LGBT-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.
Her style blends several approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered care guide the way she builds trust and adapts to each person.
Vicki also works with parenting strains, career questions, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, and caregiver stress. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, body image, and coping with disasters. She emphasizes practical tools people can try between sessions.
Her background in education and motivational speaking informs how she explains skills and sets achievable goals. To begin, readers are asked to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session based on availability.
How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and day-to-day functioning. It is frequently applied to anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding patterns in close relationships and improving how people relate and feel connected to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Vicki will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try strategies and adjust as needed. This keeps the process collaborative and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work during life changes or when routines are disrupted. If a certain format matters to you, check current options when you schedule so sessions fit your daily life.
