Vicki Farley, LPC

Vicki Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with more than 20 years of experience working in private practice and in addictions treatment programs. She has supported people across the lifespan, from teenagers to seniors, addressing issues that range from straightforward concerns to complex, layered challenges that benefit from thoughtful exploration and creative solutions.

Because she is also a Registered Nurse (RN), some people choose to work with her when they or a loved one are learning to accept and manage a medical condition. That combined background allows her to integrate clinical counseling skills with an informed perspective on health-related concerns when appropriate.

Her therapeutic stance draws on interest in Jungian and Adlerian ideas while her style is grounded in a Rogerian, client-centered warmth. Training in cognitive approaches leads her to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when the presenting problems fit that model. She adapts her methods to the individual, starting with attentive listening because she believes healing begins when a person is heard. Sharing one’s story can take courage, and when clients invite her to accompany them on that journey she keeps their best interests at the forefront of both mind and heart. She looks forward to meeting new clients and exploring paths toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Vicki Farley draws from client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Jungian perspectives to tailor care to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s experience guides the work and helps with issues like life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Jungian ideas support exploration of personal meaning, symbolism, and life narrative, offering depth-oriented work for those facing complex emotional or identity questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vicki collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the relationship develops to ensure the work remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy with Vicki is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, allow continuity of care across locations within Alabama, and support clients who prefer different communication styles while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
