About Vickie
Vickie Lane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life transitions. Her style aims to make the first step feel doable and less overwhelming for someone reaching out from a phone or a busy day.
She works one person at a time to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental space. Conversations are practical and focused on the problems that matter now.
Background and approach
Clients can expect to talk about what is happening, try out new ways of responding, and set small goals to build on. Vickie draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person's experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT strategies to manage intense feelings and improve coping.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when helpful to increase awareness and strengthen motivation for change. Her background includes long-term work with people facing family conflict, parenting strain, career challenges, and trauma-related concerns. She also addresses issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and relationship struggles.
Vickie aims to help people find clearer choices and better ways to handle daily pressures. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Vickie helps clients build skills, track progress, and adjust plans as life changes.
The goal is steadier days and more workable relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding to each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and build trust in the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will ask about current struggles, goals, and what has worked before. Together the client and therapist pick methods to try, adjust them as needed, and track small improvements over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people work in real time and practice skills with therapist guidance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and allow frequent, brief conversations to maintain momentum between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person care.
