About Vickie
Vickie Lucero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 16 years of experience since earning her LPC in 2011. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Vickie uses practical, straightforward care that focuses on the person in front of her.
Before becoming an LPC she worked in mental health in a range of settings starting in 1996. Her background includes time at the Department of Human Services, community mental health programs, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment centers, and nonprofit health clinics.
How Vickie works
Those roles shaped her understanding of real-world challenges and diverse life circumstances. Vickie describes her style as flexible rather than tied to a single method. She most often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-informed approaches.
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including sleep issues, parenting stress, caregiver strain, self-esteem struggles, chronic illness or pain, and substance use. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, and forgiveness work.
Vickie aims to help people set clear goals and take small steps toward them. She emphasizes collaborative problem solving, practical tools, and measures that can be used between sessions. The goal is steady progress a little at a time.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. The therapist offers acceptance and works to understand the client’s perspective so goals and next steps come from the person receiving care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting as needed so the plan feels useful and manageable.
Online care can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls support more face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, coping strategies between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while still getting regular professional support.
