About Vickie

Vickie Lucero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 16 years of licensed practice. She has worked in mental health settings since 1996, including Department of Human Services, community mental health, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment centers, and nonprofit clinics. Vickie draws on long experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and life changes.

Her style is flexible and practical. She adapts methods to each person's needs instead of using one fixed approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step changes that feel manageable.

Vickie commonly uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness practices. She blends these tools with a client-centered outlook to address trauma, relationship concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

People seeking work on self-esteem, anger, career stress, ADHD, or coping after a natural or human-caused disaster will find straightforward problem-solving and emotional support. She also assists with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and recovery from substance use.

Vickie aims to build a collaborative plan that matches a person's pace and priorities. She invites prospective clients to share what matters most so they can set practical steps toward their goals.

Approach-driven online therapy that adapts to your needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to set meaningful goals and build a supportive plan that reflects what matters most to the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns into clear, changeable steps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching practical tools to shift thinking and daily routines.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and simple practices that reduce reactivity. It can help with trauma responses, anger, and ongoing stress by training awareness and calmer responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and try options that match a person's goals, comfort level, and pace. Together they will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
