Getting to know Vicki Thao
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s complexities with clarity, compassion, and intention. Starting therapy can be difficult, and I congratulate you on taking a new path towards self-discovery and healing. My clinical work consists of working with individuals of all ages who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, work stress, family conflicts, academic concerns, and behavioral issues.
My approach
I use an integrative approach focusing on the following but not limited to: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that will help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, Person Centered Therapy to help you with exploration of feelings and developing self-awareness, Solution Focused Therapy where strengths are identified and I collaborate with you to achieve your goals, and Mindfulness.
My focus
I will provide a safe and supportive environment where you can show up and be your authentic self. I am here to listen, guide, and support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My role is to help you build awareness, develop insight, and uncover the tools you already have within you to create positive change.
My communication style
In therapy, I communicate with warmth and respect. I will actively listen with intention and respond with empathy and honesty. I am compassionate and direct, offering space for you to be heard while also gently challenging you as appropriate to support your growth.
My goals for you
Effective therapy starts with an understanding of what you want to achieve. We will discuss and identify goals that you find most beneficial. The hope is that you will leave therapy with more insight, effective tools, and increased confidence to manage life challenges.
