Vicki Mansure , LPC

Vicki Mansure is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on women's issues among a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting questions, eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Vicki aims to build a trusting, collaborative relationship so people feel heard and understood from the start.

Her day-to-day work blends practical skills with deeper self-reflection. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are added when helpful to reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings.

Vicki also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that come from early attachments and family of origin issues. Solution-focused methods help set clear, achievable goals and build momentum between sessions. This mix lets sessions move between short-term problem solving and deeper exploration as needed.

Clients can expect to work together on identifying stuck patterns, testing small changes, and learning coping tools. Vicki pays attention to issues like abandonment, commitment and control struggles, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions. She helps people tackle panic, depression, compassion fatigue, anger, and relationship conflicts.

Therapy can take practical forms such as skill building, thought restructuring, and brief experiments to change behavior. Vicki explains ideas plainly and supports people as they try new approaches and evaluate what helps.

Blending therapy approaches for online care

Vicki uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core ways of working. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses so anxiety, panic, or low mood become easier to manage. Client-centered work means sessions follow what the person brings and build a trusting relationship before moving into changes.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help with strong emotions and reactivity. Mindfulness teaches simple habits for noticing sensations and thoughts so people can respond more calmly rather than react immediately. These approaches are chosen to match each person’s goals and concerns, whether that is reducing panic, improving relationships, or managing caregiver stress.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try approaches in session, and adjust the plan together based on what feels helpful. That conversation guides whether to emphasize skills practice, deeper exploration of patterns, or short-term problem solving.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full therapy sessions and learning new skills. Phone can work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting are useful for brief check-ins, coaching, or staying connected between longer sessions.
