About Vicki

Vicki Zeitner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, conversational approach that helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship problems. Vicki focuses on practical steps people can take and on listening closely when someone needs to be heard.

Her work often centers on improving communication, finding better work-life balance, and navigating losses and life transitions. She also helps people explore identity questions and challenges related to gender and sexual orientation.

Background and approach

Vicki supports people dealing with trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, and long-term mood concerns such as bipolar depression. Vicki has practiced in community mental health agencies, outpatient counseling centers, and inpatient programs. She also spent nearly 15 years in academia and has lived in both urban and rural areas on the east and west coasts, which informs her multicultural perspective.

These settings shaped how she thinks about practical supports and everyday stressors. Her approach adapts to each person's needs and blends methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive strategies. She emphasizes mindful attention to habitual thoughts and behaviors as a starting point for change.

Vicki describes her style as accepting, curious, and collaborative. Sessions can include questions, reflection, and concrete suggestions to try between meetings. People who are willing to reflect, tolerate some discomfort, and practice outside sessions tend to get the most from her work.

Vicki practices in Oregon and offers services in English.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Vicki often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when people meet with her. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values, learning simple mindfulness skills, and taking actions that match what matters to you; it can help with anxiety, worry, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationships shape patterns in adult connections and communication and can be useful for improving relationship skills and understanding recurring reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Vicki will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single style, and she collaborates on practical steps to try between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer scheduling flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and have fuller conversations, while phone sessions can work for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options can help people continue steady progress without extra travel or time away from work or family.
