About Vickie
Vickie Lane is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common early adult pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career concerns. Vickie works with individuals who are facing life adjustments and the practical fallout of those changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most right now. Sessions are client-centered and practical. Vickie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice different ways of responding.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want to make a change but feel stuck. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life. These methods are used in simple, step-by-step ways so they can fit into a busy schedule.
Vickie often helps with problems linked to relationships and family stress, including blended family issues, communication problems, and separation. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, body image, and addiction-related concerns. For those navigating ADHD, bipolar, chronic illness, or other long-term issues, she offers practical coping strategies and planning.
Her work emphasizes clear goals and small, achievable steps. New clients are guided through an initial matching process and a first session to set priorities and plan next steps.
How Vickie uses common therapies in online work
Vickie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes that change outcomes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to school, work, and relationships.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques are practical tools for managing intense feelings and improving interactions with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and pick what helps most. That collaborative process shapes which methods are used and how sessions are structured.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten travel time, or allow a quieter check-in during a break. Some approaches translate well to brief skill coaching, while others use longer sessions for practice and reflection. Ask about format and timing when scheduling so sessions fit into everyday life.
