More about Vickie
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience in providing psychotherapy in both community mental health centers and private practice. I have worked with clients dealing with a wide range of issues including depression and mood disorders, anxiety, low self-esteem, LGBTQ issues, and trauma.
My practice style is empathetic and engaging, focusing on starting where the client is emotionally and helping her/him/them find a path to peace, acceptance, and fulfillment. My practice approach combines cognitive behavioral, client-focused, and solution-focused therapies, as well as motivational interviewing. Each client has individual needs, and I will tailor my approach to suit yours.
Entering therapy is a step towards a more fulfilling life that takes great courage. Change is a scary thing sometimes, but is often necessary to find true happiness. Together we can identify the ways that change can benefit you and work towards making it both lasting and rewarding.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Vickie is the first therapist I have ever had that I feel like has genuinely helped me. She is amazing.
Kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Ms. Neapolitan is an excellent therapist. She has been a great help and is very insightful. I am so proud of the progress she has helped me make.
I worked with Vickie during a time when I felt really ungrounded with anxiety and troubled by past traumas and inner child wounds. After working with Vickie for around 9 months I feel far better equiped to prioritize my mental health and to work on my anxiety as it arises. I would definitely recommend working with her, thank you for your support, Vickie!
Vickie truly took the time to understand my concerns and areas for improvement and asked thought-provoking questions that really proved that. I appreciate all she has done to help me manage and understand my anxiety and depression.
I have really enjoyed working with Vickie and I feel she is well equipped to help me with my particular issues.
