About Vickie

She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem struggles.

Clients meet a therapist who listens first and tailors steps to each person’s needs. She uses a mix of talk-based strategies and practical exercises so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
How Vickie works
Progress is treated as gradual and collaborative rather than rushed. Vickie also gives attention to overlapping and related concerns. That includes issues like abandonment, attachment problems, avoidant personality patterns, and communication difficulties.
She supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, and aging-related worries. Her clinical methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused approaches, EMDR for trauma processing, and mindfulness practices. These are chosen to match what the person needs that day and over time.
Sessions can emphasize skill-building, emotion regulation, or trauma-focused processing depending on the goal. Vickie provides care in English and American Sign Language. She aims to make scheduling and session format fit busy lives while offering steady, experienced guidance.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people with appropriate scheduling options and formats.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people feel understood and make their own choices. Online sessions use gentle, guided conversation to clarify goals and build plans that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches targeted skills to change them, such as activity scheduling and thought tracking, which translate well to homework and digital worksheets. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories through guided attention; adapted online, it combines structured memory work with therapist-guided exercises to reduce intense symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vickie aims to figure out which methods match each person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will make recommendations and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and use visual tools, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, shorter or longer check-ins, and ways to continue work outside typical office hours.
