About Vickie
Vickie Griffin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, depression, grief, and life changes. Vickie also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Her approach starts from the view that each person knows their own story. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice strengths they already have. Sessions combine practical strategies with attention to feelings so people can take small, useful steps forward.
Vickie mixes client-centered methods with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to help with focus, coping, and making changes. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at what the person wants to change next.
She is comfortable addressing a wide range of related concerns, including attachment issues, adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, body image, and communication problems. Vickie can talk through commitment and control issues and help with codependency and blended family challenges.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the scope of her North Carolina LCMHC credential. People who are interested start by completing an intake questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how the fit feels.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Vickie commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping them identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood and behavior, and introduces concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy where helpful. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for relationship stress, anger, and self-regulation challenges. These approaches are explained in clear terms so a person knows what to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different tools and adjusting plans over a few sessions to find what helps most.
