Vicki Farley

Vicki Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with over 20 years of experience. She brings a calm, listening-first style and helps people work through stress, grief, addiction, depression, and life changes. Her approach is warm and client-centered, focused on understanding each person's story before deciding next steps.

She draws on a mix of therapies including Jungian ideas, Adlerian perspectives, and cognitive behavioral techniques when they fit the problem. Vicki tailors how she works to each person, preferring to match the approach to the issue rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. This means sessions may include straightforward skill practice, reflective discussion, or mindfulness exercises depending on needs.

Over two decades she has worked in private practice and in addictions treatment settings. Her experience spans a wide range of concerns, from sleeping and self-esteem to more complex issues like trauma, bipolar disorder, and co-morbid health challenges. She also has experience supporting people facing aging, cancer, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Vicki aims to make the room a place to tell your story and find practical steps forward. She listens first, then helps people test new ways of coping, communicate more clearly, or manage strong emotions. The work can include short-term problem solving or longer-term self-examination depending on what the person wants.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people name their priorities and goals. This approach is useful for grief, coping with life changes, and emotional processing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves setting small goals, practicing new responses, and tracking progress, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping, and addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether a listening-focused method, CBT skills, or a mix makes sense. Goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable guide that decision together.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, or making it simpler to continue care during health or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between visits and practice skills in everyday settings.
