About Vickie

Vickie Griffin, LCMHC, centers her work on people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, depression, and life transitions. She emphasizes clients' strengths and invites them to be active partners in therapy, offering steady support while also posing gentle challenges when growth requires it.

Background and approach

Her ten years of practice in North Carolina have included helping clients cope with grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, career decisions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Griffin practices from a warm, nonjudgmental stance and seeks to create an atmosphere where clients feel understood and respected.

She combines empathy with practical strategies drawn from evidence-informed methods to help clients build skills and work toward meaningful change. Whether addressing chronic stress, communication and commitment difficulties, caregiver strain, or body-image and identity concerns, she aims to empower people to take the steps they choose toward greater wellbeing.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and guiding sessions around their priorities so they can explore values, strengths, and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for strong emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then suggest or adapt methods that fit the person’s situation rather than prescribing a single path from the start. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what proves most effective for the individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and varied communication styles to match comfort levels and life demands.
