About Vicki

Vicki Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice. She centers therapy on a client-focused, Rogerian style that prioritizes listening and collaboration, while integrating ideas from Jungian and Adlerian thought to explore meaning and personal patterns.

Background and approach

Vicki also employs cognitive behavioral techniques when clients present issues that respond well to skill-based strategies, and she adapts her methods to match each person’s needs and preferences. Her work spans a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, sleep problems, and self-esteem challenges.

Over twenty years she has provided care in independent practice and addiction treatment settings, helping people with straightforward problems as well as complex, multi-layered issues that call for thoughtful exploration.

Vicki emphasizes the importance of telling one’s story as a first step toward healing and approaches each case with warmth, respect, and a commitment to the client’s best interest.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Vicki uses a client-centered foundation that emphasizes listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to tell their stories and identify goals. This warm, person-focused stance helps establish rapport and guides the selection of more structured techniques when helpful.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to change patterns of feeling and behavior. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are another tool she may draw on for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and coping strategies when intense emotions or relationship difficulties are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vicki works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time so therapy remains a good fit. Online formats can make this process more accessible by allowing flexibility in how sessions occur.

Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide different ways to engage depending on comfort and circumstance. These options help clients maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while still receiving evidence-informed techniques and collaborative support from a licensed professional.
