About Vickie
Vickie Lucero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 16 years of counseling experience. She has worked in settings ranging from community mental health to inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment. Vickie helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and sleep problems, among other concerns.
Her background includes roles at the Department of Human Services, nonprofit health clinics, and addiction treatment centers. Those experiences shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Vickie draws on many tools rather than using only one method, so sessions are tailored to each person's situation.
In session she commonly uses elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Therapy. She adapts what she uses to match a person’s goals and strengths. This means sessions can focus on specific skills, short-term problem solving, or deeper processing depending on what feels most useful.
Vickie also has experience addressing parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She includes attention to sleep and rest when those issues come up, helping people talk through habits and routines that affect sleep.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule based on availability. Vickie aims to help people set clear goals and notice small, practical changes that make daily life easier.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client's goals and choices while the therapist offers empathy and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT exercises can target sleep habits, anxiety, and daily routines with concrete homework and tracking between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices for stress and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps choose whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skill building, or deeper emotional work.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding commute time, supporting shorter check-ins during a break, or letting people choose whether to use video. Therapists use these options to help clients practice skills in everyday settings and maintain continuity of care when schedules are tight.
