About Vickie
Vickie Kimble is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief. Vickie also gives attention to adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, DMDD, self-harm, and young adult challenges.
Her sessions are practical and direct. She listens to what is happening now and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Her style is matter-of-fact and goal oriented. Sessions cover immediate coping strategies as well as longer-term skills-building. Practical homework and real-world practice are common parts of the process.

How CBT and skills-based approaches work online
Vickie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - noticing thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative actions - which can be reviewed in online appointments.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered methods prioritize the person's concerns, while DBT skills offer clear tools for handling intense feelings and interpersonal stress.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Vickie will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is reviewed.
