How her approaches translate to online therapy
Vicki uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation centers on the person's concerns and goals, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Vicki will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. She collaborates with clients to pick tools that match their needs and pace rather than following a fixed plan.

Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuity when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversational coaching, structured CBT exercises, or mindfulness practices in remote sessions to help people build routines and manage family stress.
