Arab has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into trying it online, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based treatment.
Arab is in the heart of it all. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Huntsville, Birmingham, and Atlanta, which means there is plenty to go see and do if you're an Arab resident. But if you're one of the millions of Americans across the United States struggling to find happiness, or even just a little peace, enjoying the Arab lifestyle may be difficult to achieve.

I believe that counseling is a process in which the counselor and client have to work together to build trust and growth. It gives the client a safe environment in which to explore their issues and learn to better cope with them. My goal as a counselor is to help people establish change that they seek within themselves. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (#2879) in the state of Alabama and Georgia (#006569). I am also a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Georgia. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Alabama and Master’s degree in Psychology from Jacksonville State University. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Jacksonville State University. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with a variety of demographics, including the geriatric population. I have a strong background in mental health counseling, including crisis and substance abuse counseling. Additionally, I have experience in counseling clients that have dual diagnoses. I am skilled in providing marriage and couples counseling to help those in trouble relationships repair and rebuild there relationship.
Vicki Farley
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Alabama with over 20 years experience working with clients in my private practice and addictions treatment programs. My clients have come from all walks of life and have ranged in age from teens to seniors with problems that were fairly simple to solve to very complex issues that needed thoughtful exploration and innovative solutions. Because I am also a Registered Nurse, some clients have chosen to work with me around accepting and managing a medical problem that they or a loved one are learning to better manage. My approach to therapy is based in my interest in Jung and Adler while my style is founded in a typically Rogerian, client-centered warm approach. My training in Cognitive based therapy leads me to lean into using CBT techniques when the problems presented lend themselves to this approach. Because each person is different, I tend to match my approach to the person seeking help while always believing that my first responsibility is to listen because healing begins with the telling of the story. It takes courage to tell one's story to another and if you choose me to hear your story and journey with you to your answers, I promise to always keep your best interest top of mind and heart. I look forward to meeting you.
