01About Vicki
Vicki Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience in mental health care. She practices in Alabama and brings a calm, listening-first style to sessions. Vicki works with adults on issues like anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, addictions, and coping with life changes.
Her clinical approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools when helpful and incorporates mindfulness and Jungian ideas to support self-understanding.
Background and approach
Vicki adapts her methods to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed plan. Her background includes work in independent practice and in addictions treatment settings. That mix gives her experience with both short-term problem solving and longer, deeper exploration.
She has helped people with sleep problems, relationship struggles, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among other issues. Clients often bring complicated health, caregiving, or end-of-life stresses; Vicki also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, hospice concerns, and cancer-related distress. She combines practical coping skills with space to tell and process difficult experiences.
Sessions focus on listening, building skills, and finding workable steps forward. Vicki aims to help people build self-understanding, reduce distressing symptoms, and make daily life feel more manageable. Her style is warm, respectful, and tailored to each person.

04Online support
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-centered therapy means the conversation begins with the client's story and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to understand what matters most and where change feels possible.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges where concrete strategies help reduce distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and managing impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what is actually helping. That collaborative process helps match methods to needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and may be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, and more flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.
