01About Vickie
Vickie Lucero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 16 years of counseling experience. She draws on a long career in mental health settings to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, trauma, and other life challenges. Vickie emphasizes practical, person-focused care in sessions.
She works from an adaptable approach rather than a single method. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. Vickie often uses elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns and try small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are part of her work too, offered as simple practices for reducing overwhelm and improving sleep. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding motivation to change behaviors like substance use. These methods are presented in straightforward ways during conversations.
Her background includes roles in the Department of Human Services, community mental health, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment centers, and nonprofit health clinics. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and caregiving burdens. Vickie aims to build a collaborative relationship where goals are clear and progress is practical.
She invites people to talk about their priorities and tries to keep sessions focused and useful. If someone wants to work on coping skills, motivation for change, or managing strong emotions, she offers simple tools and steady support.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your priorities and helps you set achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems and works well over video or phone because homework and skill practice are easy to share. Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices to reduce stress and improve focus; these exercises can be done during or between sessions and are effective when taught by chat, phone, or video.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can happen in the first few sessions and be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily life.
