About Vicki Farley
Vicki Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with over 20 years of experience supporting people in private practice and in addictions treatment programs. She has worked with individuals from many backgrounds, ranging in age from teenagers to older adults, and she welcomes both straightforward concerns and more layered situations that call for careful reflection and creative problem-solving.
In addition to her counseling credential, she is also a Registered Nurse, which some clients find helpful when therapy intersects with the emotional and practical realities of medical concerns affecting themselves or someone they love. Her work can include helping people adjust to health-related changes, build coping strategies, and navigate the stress that often accompanies illness and caregiving.
Her therapeutic perspective is shaped by interests in Jung and Adler, while her style is grounded in a warm, Rogerian, client-centered approach that prioritizes respect, empathy, and the client’s own inner resources. Drawing on cognitive-based training, she also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques when they fit the concerns being addressed. Vicki Farley aims to tailor therapy to each person, with the belief that meaningful change often begins with being truly heard and having space to tell the story in a supportive setting.
She recognizes the courage it can take to speak openly about personal experiences, and she approaches the work with steady attention to what matters most to the client as they move toward clarity, direction, and their own answers.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Vicki Farley draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship and starts with careful listening. This approach can be especially helpful for people who want space to sort through stress, grief, relationship concerns, or major life changes at their own pace.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques when they fit the concern at hand. CBT focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors, then practicing practical strategies that can make day-to-day challenges feel more manageable, such as anxiety, depression, or coping with transitions.
Mindfulness therapy may also be part of the work, helping clients build skills for staying present with difficult emotions and responding with more intention rather than feeling swept away by stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vicki Farley works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most useful, adjusting the focus based on individual needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online therapy adds flexibility by offering options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to get support from home, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and stay connected in a way that matches how each client communicates best.
