About Vickie

She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and depression. Her listed areas also include grief, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She uses practical talking and skill-building in sessions. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and focuses on strengths people already have. Conversations are straightforward and focus on what is happening now and what can change next.
Vickie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on the client’s perspective, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to support change talk.
Sessions typically include setting small goals, practicing new skills between meetings, and checking what works or needs adjusting. Progress is measured in practical steps rather than abstract ideas. The tone is encouraging and sometimes gently challenging when that helps move things forward.
She works in English and practices in North Carolina. People who want to begin are asked to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Vickie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to structure online sessions. CBT is about identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and practicing small changes to test what helps. Client-centered methods focus on understanding the client’s perspective and building conversation around their priorities and goals.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or intense reactions are present. DBT skills include practical techniques for managing strong feelings, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without making things worse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That recommendation can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow short check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings rather than commuting. Those practical benefits often help keep skills practice consistent while working on concrete goals.
