Victoria Bartholomew

Victoria Bartholomew is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate stressful life moments. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and cope with big changes. Her style is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at people who want clear tools and steady support.

Victoria draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to break problems into manageable parts. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-focused therapy when needed. Sessions often include skills practice, goal-setting, and short-term strategies people can try between meetings.

She has six years of professional experience and has supported people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, parenting challenges, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and workplace stress. Victoria helps clients strengthen self-love and address control issues that get in the way of daily life.

Clients can expect a calm, open space to talk and a therapist who will listen without judgment. The approach balances practical interventions with validation of feelings. Victoria encourages small changes that add up over time.

To begin, she asks people to identify clear goals and priorities. From there she and the client pick techniques that match those goals, and track progress across sessions. This keeps work focused and measurable.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Victoria uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on small changes in thinking and routine that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. Motivational interviewing may be used to clarify motivation and set realistic change goals when people feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Victoria will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then select methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and relevant.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy week, and allow check-ins without commute time. Some approaches translate well to brief skills practice or structured goal reviews that fit into shorter appointments, while others are used across several sessions for deeper change.
