Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s experiences guide the work. It helps people who want to explore personal values, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-directed coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which can be particularly helpful for couples and attachment-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vickie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to suit each person or couple, and decisions about direction are made together.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for scheduling, supports clients in different locations, and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to receive consistent, professional support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
