About Vicki
Vicki Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, listening-first style to sessions and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and practical for people under stress or facing big changes. Vicki blends a client-centered way of working with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy.
That means she begins by listening and then helps clients test new thoughts and habits when useful.
Background and approach
She also draws on ideas from Jungian and mindfulness approaches to help people connect thoughts, feelings, and personal meaning. Her background includes work in independent practice and in addictions treatment settings. That variety means she has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, sleep problems, ADHD, and career or relationship strain.
She has also worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, end-of-life issues, and challenges related to aging. Sessions are practical and tailored. Vicki helps people break problems into manageable steps and develop tools they can try between meetings.
She pays attention to how life context, family of origin, and past trauma shape daily patterns and coping. People who choose her can expect a warm, respectful presence and a collaborative plan. The goal is clearer choices, better daily routines, and stronger skills for handling stress and change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In online sessions this looks like time spent understanding daily struggles, goals, and values before trying new strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try techniques that fit their life and preferences. Together they adjust the plan based on what helps most, blending listening, CBT tools, and mindfulness practices as needed.
Online care offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and exercise work on thoughts and routines. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share notes, track progress, or get brief support between meetings. These options let people schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and keep momentum between meetings.
