Online support

How Vickie’s Approaches Work Online

Vickie draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on what the person brings to sessions and uses listening and reflection so clients feel understood and can explore goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. EMDR is used as a method to help process traumatic memories by guiding attention while supporting emotional regulation, and it can be offered when trauma processing is part of the plan.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Vickie will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and past experiences, then suggest options and adjust the plan over time. The therapist and client decide together whether to focus on skills practice, trauma processing, or a mix of methods based on how things are going.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video works well for exercises that use facial cues and guided interaction. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone needs frequent, shorter support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
