About Vickie
Vickie Griffin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family challenges, and depression. She also supports people facing grief, life changes, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Vickie approaches work from a client-centered viewpoint. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and practical, with room for gentle challenge when that helps move things forward.
Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing helps clients find the next step when change feels hard.
She pays attention to family patterns and to blended family issues when those are part of what brings someone in. Vickie talks through real-life problems like merging routines, loyalty conflicts, and co-parenting stress in plain language rather than clinical terms.
People can expect straightforward conversations about goals and small, doable steps between sessions. The emphasis is on practical skills and clearer thinking so clients can manage daily strain and make steady progress.
Vickie conducts sessions in English and works with adults in North Carolina. She does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Vickie commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the client's perspective and goals, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness. DBT skills can help manage strong emotions and tense interactions, while mindfulness helps with grounding and reducing reactivity in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Vickie will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and she may blend techniques from different approaches as sessions progress.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone engage in therapy from a quieter setting or join a session without being on camera if that helps them focus on the work.
