About Vicki
Vicki Farley is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, depression, addiction, relationship and family issues, trauma, sleep problems, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and related challenges.
She has worked in private practice and in addictions treatment programs. Her caseload has included a wide age range, from teens to seniors, and a mix of straightforward and complex problems. She is also a Registered Nurse, and some clients consult her about managing medical conditions that affect daily life.
Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one key tool. She also uses client-centered methods influenced by Carl Rogers and integrates ideas from Jung and Adler when relevant. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her toolbox for emotional regulation and coping.
In sessions she listens first and then suggests practical techniques aligned with a person’s goals. That might include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, or learning emotional skills. She adapts the mix of methods to the concern brought to the room.
Vicki emphasizes clear, practical steps alongside careful listening. Her practice background includes work with addiction treatment programs and ongoing private practice care in Alabama. People who want structured approaches mixed with open listening often seek her out.
How her approaches translate to online work
Vicki uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions typically focus on practical tasks, short experiments, and clear skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.She also draws on client-centered methods, which emphasize listening and letting the client’s priorities guide what comes next. That approach helps when someone needs time to tell their story and decide which steps feel doable.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. She will help clients and therapists decide what fits best based on the person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time in collaboration with the client.
