About Vickie

Vickie Lucero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 16 years of clinical experience. As an LPC, she has advanced training and state licensure to provide professional mental health counseling. Her background spans roles in the Department of Human Services, community mental health settings, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment programs, and nonprofit health clinics, giving her a broad perspective on complex needs and systems.

Vickie describes her style as eclectic and client-centered, adapting methods to fit each person rather than relying on a single technique. She frequently draws on components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients build practical skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and strengthen coping resources. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and tailoring the therapeutic plan to a person’s unique circumstances and goals.

She has substantial experience addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, parenting challenges, gender dysphoria, personality-related concerns, and substance use, and she also works with a broad range of life stressors such as caregiving strain, relationship and family dynamics, sleep difficulties, and career transitions. Vickie combines compassion with pragmatic strategies to assist people in moving toward clearer choices and improved well-being.

She welcomes the opportunity to learn about each individual’s story and partner in setting realistic, meaningful goals for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Vickie integrates several evidence-based approaches into online care to meet a variety of needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on building concrete, achievable steps and identifying existing strengths so clients can move toward preferred outcomes more quickly. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often useful in areas like substance use or behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vickie works collaboratively with each person to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as the work evolves to find the best fit.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations within the therapist's service area, and make it easier to access support during life transitions. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively in remote formats, and Vickie tailors the mode of communication to what works best for each client.
