How Vicky works
Vicky is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in New York and Arizona. She brings about 20 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, family and family-of-origin issues, coping with life changes, and caregiver stress. That background informs practical strategies for managing crises and long-term patterns.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that follow each person's pace and priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and with solution-focused steps to try soon after sessions. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools are also used when helpful.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. People come away with clear next steps, coping tools, and ways to notice progress. Vicky frames therapy as a partnership to help people rebuild confidence and handle life’s demands more effectively.

Online support options
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experiences, giving the client space to lead sessions while the therapist reflects and supports. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to build their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. Sessions can mix client-centered listening, CBT exercises, and brief solution-focused work so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let therapists observe reactions and use visual tools, while phone sessions can fit into a break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins or day-to-day coaching easier, and they can be useful for follow-up between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule consistent work and to use different formats as needs change.
