About Victoria

Victoria Bartholomew brings a skills-based, collaborative approach to therapy rooted in evidence-informed methods. As an LCSW, she integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused therapy to help clients build practical tools for managing emotions and navigating life transitions.

Background and approach

With six years of professional experience, she focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coping with change while addressing relationship and family dynamics.

Victoria also concentrates on issues often tied to shifting family structures and roles, including blended family challenges, divorce and separation, parenting concerns, control issues, workplace stress, women's issues, self-love, and young adult matters. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop sustainable strategies.

Victoria emphasizes partnership in the therapeutic process and supports clients who are motivated to make changes and build a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Victoria uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for reducing anxiety and improving mood. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for managing intense feelings and relationship stress. Trauma-focused therapy is used when addressing past harm, with attention to processing traumatic experiences and building coping resources for recovery.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time to find the best fit. Clients play an active role in choosing techniques and tracking progress throughout treatment.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to enhance flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
