About Vicki Hart

Vicki Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), executive coach, and management consultant with 17 years of experience supporting individuals and families through stress, grief and loss, and major life transitions.

Throughout her career, Vicki has focused on practical, skills-based support, including stress management, relaxation techniques, coping with aging parents, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of loss. She taught Stress Management for eight years and has specialized training in palliative care, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, and support for suicide loss survivors, bringing an informed perspective to end-of-life concerns and the effects of difficult events.

In her coaching work, Vicki emphasizes continuous personal change and professional growth. She views executive coaching as a structured way to build self-awareness and support behavior change, and she aligns coaching goals with clear business outcomes through feedback, thoughtful questions, and practical challenges that help clients identify options, make plans, and take action.

Practical Online Support, Grounded in Evidence-Based Approaches

Vicki Hart draws from approaches that help clients build insight and take meaningful steps forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and a supportive pace, helping clients clarify what they are feeling and what they want, especially during grief, stress, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and depression by helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more effective ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy adds skills for paying attention to the present moment with greater steadiness, which can support coping, resilience, and day-to-day emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vicki works collaboratively with clients to understand what is bringing them in, what has or has not worked before, and what goals feel most important now. Together, they can choose tools and strategies that fit the client’s preferences and real-life demands.

Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a way that fits busy schedules and changing needs. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options for live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for ongoing support between appointments.
