About Vickie
Vickie Kimble is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, and grief.
Clients meet with Vickie to talk through what is causing distress and to learn ways to respond differently. She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than jargon. Her work often focuses on building motivation, improving confidence, and managing strong emotions like anger.
Vickie draws from several approaches in sessions, including client-centered methods that keep the person's own goals central. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are also used to help manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity.
Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, those facing grief, and people navigating adoption or foster care issues. She also has experience with aging and geriatric concerns, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), self-harm, and issues common in young adults.
Vickie aims for practical steps clients can try between sessions. She encourages small, consistent changes that reduce stress and make daily challenges easier to handle. The first meetings focus on clarifying goals and picking approaches that fit the person’s needs.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the professional standards of a Texas LPC. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s matching process to schedule an initial appointment.
How Vickie uses practical approaches online
Vickie often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and what matters most to them. It helps people clarify priorities and feel heard while deciding what to work on next. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools to change patterns that lead to stress or angry reactions.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions. DBT teaches specific skills for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches suit people who want practical tools to reduce reactivity and handle difficult moments with more control.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Vickie will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to test skills between sessions and report back on what worked.
