About Vicki
Vicki Zeitner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and difficult life changes. Her manner is conversational and warm, and she focuses on clear goals and practical steps.
She often starts by listening closely to understand what matters most to each person. From there she helps clarify values, identify strengths, and set doable goals. Sessions may include learning new ways to handle upsetting thoughts and practicing small changes that add up over time.
Her background includes work in community mental health, outpatient counseling, and inpatient treatment programs. She also spent nearly 15 years in academia and has lived in both urban and rural settings, which has widened her perspective on different life experiences and cultures.
Vicki uses a mix of approaches to suit individual needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills, Attachment-based thinking, Emotionally-Focused methods, and client-centered principles. She notes that mindful awareness of habitual thinking is often the first step toward change.
She does not provide treatment for active addictions, acute psychiatric conditions, active eating disorders, or self-harm. People who are reflective, ready to do the work between sessions, and motivated for change may find her style a good fit.
