LPC, 22 years of experience
Hello, I'm Vicki. I have been described as compassionate and intuitive and whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues I am here to help. My methods of counseling will provide you with the tools needed for you to work through your questions and struggles. Through guidance you can learn how to create relationship skills and build upon the skills you already possess. Some of the benefits of therapy include: gaining a better understanding of yourself, learning how to handle difficult emotions, identifying underlying causes of symptoms, providing coping strategies, managing symptoms and facilitating lifestyle changes.
In the first session, we will discuss the intake, goals and what brought you to therapy.
Some of treatment methods and tools I utilize are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT),Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Client Centered, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
My strength areas are helping people with anxiety, stress, grief, anger management, and self-esteem issues. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and I utilize solution-focused techniques in my sessions. I think that it is very important to look into one's past in order to move forward. Family of origin work is very important.
I am here for clients who are looking to grow, find a new set of coping skills and techniques and are willing to do homework and challenge their cognitive distortions. Everyone has cognitive distortions.
