About Vicki

She brings 17 years of clinical experience and a background in coaching to guide practical next steps. Vicki works in English and serves clients in New Mexico, California, and internationally.

She started in neuropsychology at Baylor College of Medicine administering cognitive tests for people with memory concerns. Over the next decade and a half she held clinical and management roles in hospitals, research centers, and community settings. That work included teaching stress management and providing aftercare following hospital stays.

Vicki has particular experience supporting caregivers, people facing aging and geriatric issues, and those coping with grief and loss. Her background includes palliative care work, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and support for suicide loss survivors. She also has experience providing counseling and services for military personnel and community members while living overseas.

In addition to clinical work, Vicki practices executive coaching and management consulting. She connects coaching goals to concrete workplace outcomes and uses feedback and planning to help clients take action. Her coaching work aims to increase self-awareness and meaningful behavior change for professionals at many levels.

Vicki emphasizes simple, practical steps that clients can try between sessions. She offers a collaborative approach that starts with listening, then maps a path toward more calm, clearer decision-making, and better daily coping.

How Vicki’s approaches translate to online therapy

Vicki blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to help people cope with stress and depression. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals so sessions reflect what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with grief and caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Vicki will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps the client make progress and feel more capable in daily life.
