About Victoria

Victoria Bartholomew is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who centers her work on Trauma-Focused Therapy and practical tools for everyday challenges. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, self-esteem, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Victoria aims to make first steps feel manageable and supports clients who want change.

She brings six years of clinical experience and uses clear, direct methods in sessions. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, learning emotional regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or setting small, achievable goals with Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.

Victoria makes room for honest conversations about blended family issues, divorce and separation, control concerns, workplace stress, and young adult transitions. She also addresses women’s issues and the work of building self-love. Therapy sessions often include practical strategies to cope with life changes and daily stressors.

Her style is straightforward and encouraging. She helps clients try new ways of handling problems and celebrates progress. The focus is on usable skills rather than only talking about feelings.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged based on therapist availability and location. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How trauma-informed and skills-based approaches translate online

Victoria uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process past harms and reduce their impact on daily life. This work often includes grounding and pacing so memories feel less overwhelming and daily routines become more manageable.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills. CBT can help with anxiety and negative thinking, while DBT offers tools for handling intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Victoria works together with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape session content and homework between visits.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people participate from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt Trauma-Focused Therapy, CBT, and DBT skills for remote work so the focus stays on practical strategies and steady progress.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
