Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Vicki draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can help with anxiety, mood challenges, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns that formed early in life and how they affect current connections - it can be useful for relationship issues, attachment concerns, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develops practical strategies to change behavior and mood, which is often effective for stress, anxiety, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vicki works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and situations. She adapts treatment as progress unfolds so that the plan remains useful and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from licensed professionals in a format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
