About Vicki Zeitner
Vicki Zeitner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, career concerns, and major life transitions. She helps clients strengthen communication, find better work-life balance, manage mood and anxiety, and deepen self-understanding. At times she assists with decision-making and at other times provides focused listening and empathic reflection to help clients feel understood.
Her background includes work in community mental health agencies, outpatient counseling centers, and inpatient treatment programs. She also spent nearly 15 years in academia, which gives her a grounded familiarity with university life. Having lived on both the east and west coasts and in urban and rural settings, she brings broad life experience and exposure to diverse cultures to her practice.
Vicki tailors her therapeutic approach to each person’s needs, drawing on solution-focused methods and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for anxiety and depression, while also integrating client-centered perspectives. She emphasizes how self-talk and early relational patterns shape feelings and behavior, and uses mindful awareness to open the possibility of new responses. She does not treat active addictions, acute psychiatric conditions, active eating disorders, or self-harm.
Her counseling style is casual, conversational, accepting, and curious. She works to clarify values and strengths, asks thoughtful questions, offers alternatives, and honors client choices. Vicki welcomes diverse identities and perspectives and seeks to empower clients who are reflective, motivated for change, and willing to apply therapeutic work between sessions.
Whether someone needs practical tools to regain footing after change or a compassionate listener who truly understands, Vicki brings experience and steady support to help explore fresh perspectives and move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Vicki integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and to support healthier bonds and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vicki works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home, work, or while traveling, and allow clients to choose the ways of communicating that feel most useful for their progress.
