About Vicky
She has two decades of experience working across a wide range of concerns.

Step 3
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy is about listening closely and responding to what the person says matters most. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's priorities and adapt sessions to immediate concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and practices small behavior experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and addictive patterns by teaching tools you can use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress. That might mean trying CBT techniques for a few weeks, then adding mindfulness or solution-focused steps to keep momentum.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep consistent work when schedules shift, while still focusing on concrete steps and skills that can be practiced between meetings.
