    About Victoria

    Victoria Bartholomew is a licensed clinical social worker who uses clear, practical methods to help people navigate stress and relationship strain. She emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental approach and encourages small, doable changes that can add up over time. Victoria frames progress as a collaborative effort and offers steady encouragement through the process.

    She draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. That can include Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused work depending on the issue.

    Victoria has six years of professional experience and holds an LCSW. Her practice covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also helps people dealing with family problems, parenting stress, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and workplace strain.

    Sessions are aimed at practical problem solving and emotional support. Expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and strategies you can try between meetings. Victoria encourages honest talk about what is and isn’t working, then adjusts the plan as needed.

    To begin, she asks people to reflect on goals and readiness for change. Her style balances direct feedback with encouragement so clients can take manageable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Victoria often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum one step at a time. This approach focuses on listening and drawing out a person’s goals rather than pushing advice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another approach she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical alternatives that reduce anxiety and low mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life demands, then recommend an approach or mix of approaches. That plan can be adjusted based on what helps most as sessions progress.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel time. Many people find it helpful for ongoing skill practice, planning next steps after a life change, or managing stress between in-person visits with other providers.
