Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of coping. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want to make changes but feel stuck. That method helps clarify goals and boosts the small choices that lead to progress.

Sessions are practical and paced to what a person can handle right now. Vicky has five years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, career difficulties, and depression. She practices in Arkansas as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker.

She aims to make the process feel collaborative. Clients can expect clear steps, realistic goals, and support while they try new strategies. The first contact begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the person's needs.

How Vicky’s Approaches Work Online

Vicky blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing into online sessions so people can get practical help remotely. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters to the individual, creating space for the person to lead the conversation and set priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression and replacing them with more workable patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change but feel unsure by clarifying their goals and building small, manageable steps toward them.

Finding the right approach is part of how she works. She will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods to try based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps keep sessions relevant and focused on progress that feels doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer check-ins. Phone works well for shorter conversations or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible check-ins that can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other commitments while using the methods described above.
