Integrating proven approaches for online support
Vickie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of change. This approach focuses on empathy, acceptance, and helping people access their own strengths, which is useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties by targeting patterns that maintain distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vickie works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as the work evolves.

These options make it easier to access ongoing support from registered professionals without the need to travel, and they allow continuity of care for people living in different locations or managing busy lives.
