About Vickie

Vickie Kimble is a licensed professional counselor who brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Vickie emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere that makes it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

Many find her style helpful when they need motivation or a steady partner through change. She focuses on everyday problems that affect family life and parenting.

Background and approach

Vickie also addresses trauma and grief, and she has experience with adoption and foster care concerns. Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, self-harm, young adult transitions, and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder - areas that often overlap with family stress. Vickie blends Client-Centered therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

She adds mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing to help people stay focused and build small habits that matter. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and goal-oriented, so clients leave with clear next steps. With 10 years of experience and an LPC license in Texas, she aims to make therapy useful and manageable.

Conversations are kept simple and focused on what will make a real difference at home. Vickie encourages people to try out strategies and adjust them to fit daily life. She offers sessions in English and works remotely through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The format is chosen to fit each person’s schedule and comfort level, making it easier to get support when life feels overwhelming.

Practical therapy methods you can use online

Vickie uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping clients feel understood, which helps people open up about family and parenting stresses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to help during intense moments. Each approach is explained in simple terms and applied to real-life situations, like managing frustration at home or coping with grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vickie collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routines. She adjusts techniques over time and makes room for trial and feedback so the plan stays practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats let sessions fit into busy schedules and make it easier to practice skills between meetings. Remote work also allows consistent contact when life gets hectic, so people can keep building progress without long commutes or schedule gaps.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
