Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Vickie Griffin

Vickie integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, focusing on listening and meeting each person where they are so goals and treatment emerge from the client’s own priorities. This approach supports issues like relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions by honoring personal strengths and perspective.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Vickie works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods as progress is made so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person’s situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life, and allow clients to receive ongoing support from licensed professionals without needing to travel to an office.
