How Vicki’s approaches work in online therapy

Vicki often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, helping people feel heard while they decide on goals that matter to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between other obligations. It can also make shorter focused sessions or weekly talks more practical when schedules are tight.
