About Vickie
Vickie Lucero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 16 years of experience as an LPC and many more years in mental health roles since 1996. She lists concerns she works with including trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, blended family issues, and stress. Vickie also notes work with LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep problems, and career stress.
She has worked in multiple settings over her career, including the Department of Human Services, community mental health, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment centers, and nonprofit health clinics. That background shapes a practical approach to common challenges people bring into sessions. Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies rather than long theory talks.
Vickie describes her method as eclectic and uses tools from several evidence-based approaches. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and elements of Mindfulness Therapy. The emphasis is on choosing methods that fit the person and their situation.
In practice she helps people set realistic goals and work through immediate problems like coping with life changes, dealing with anger, or managing substance use. Work often centers on skill building, examining patterns, and small behavior changes that make daily life easier.
If someone has questions about whether her approach matches their needs, she invites them to begin with a short intake to talk through goals and preferences before scheduling ongoing sessions.
How Vickie uses evidence-based methods in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person says. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while deciding what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers concrete exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or stress management. These practices are often short exercises that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Vickie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision happens together over the first few meetings and can be adjusted as needed.
Session options and technical details should be confirmed before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Ask about the current session formats so you can pick what works best for your routine.
