About Vickie
Vickie Lucero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 16 years of counseling experience. She has worked in community mental health, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, the Department of Human Services, and nonprofit clinics. Vickie helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, and other life challenges.
Vickie takes a practical, person-focused approach. She does not rely on a single method but chooses techniques that fit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aim to build skills that make day-to-day life easier. Her work often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and Mindfulness Therapy to help ground people during stressful moments.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are making changes related to substance use or other habits. Vickie has worked with trauma, substance use, anger, parenting concerns, gender-related issues, and mood conditions across many settings. She offers a calm, direct style and helps people break problems into manageable steps.
The focus is on practical progress rather than labels. People who want a flexible, down-to-earth counselor may find her approach useful. She invites prospective clients to share their goals so she can help shape a plan that fits their situation and pace.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Vickie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which works well during video or phone sessions when homework and skill practice are reviewed. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple grounding and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity, and those exercises can be demonstrated and guided in live calls or via messaging.She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and track progress. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as you work together so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work in real time with visual cues for skills and role-play. Phone sessions are helpful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, between-session updates, and quick skill reminders to fit a busy day.
