About Vicki

Vicki Zeitner is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns. Vicki listens closely and helps clarify choices when life feels confusing or overwhelming.

She helps with communication problems, work-life balance, grief, and major life transitions. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to gender identity and sexual orientation. Vicki offers practical strategies for coping and clearer thinking when emotions feel intense.

Background and approach

Vicki has worked in community mental health, outpatient counseling, and inpatient treatment programs. She also spent nearly 15 years in academia, so she understands university life and the pressures that come with it. Her life experience includes living in diverse urban and rural settings across the country.

Her approach is shaped by Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-based ideas, along with client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. She brings a conversational, accepting style and uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when helpful. Vicki emphasizes noticing habits of thinking and behavior and learning new ways to respond.

She does not provide treatment for active addictions, acute psychiatric conditions, active eating disorders, or self-harm. Vicki welcomes diverse backgrounds and prefers to work with people who are reflective, willing to try new ways of coping, and ready to apply what they learn between sessions.

Online support

Emotion and Acceptance in Online Care

Vicki draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings shape relationships and choices. EFT-style work helps when patterns of reaction leave someone feeling stuck or disconnected.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and take small actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where avoidance has become limiting. Attachment-based ideas guide attention to how early relationships shape expectations and behavior, which can clarify recurring problems in connection and communication.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the focus as you learn what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial expressions and body language. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit into a busy day and support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
