About Victoria

Victoria Haltom is a licensed LMSW who brings 12 years of clinical experience to support people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, ADHD, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative partnership and emphasizes respect for clients' time and individual needs, aiming to help people develop practical coping strategies and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and practice in outpatient and telecounseling settings since 2015, along with earlier case management work in senior independent living.

Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods - blending cognitive and behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and attachment-informed perspectives - to tailor care to each person's goals. Victoria works with issues ranging from trauma and personality concerns to caregiver stress, chronic illness, and intimacy-related difficulties, offering skills-focused interventions alongside empathic listening.

Clients seeking help with communication, grief, life transitions, or burnout may find her style pragmatic and supportive. She invites prospective clients to consider therapy as a way to gain awareness, change unhelpful patterns, and build healthier ways of thinking and behaving.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of relating; online work with this focus can help people explore attachment themes and improve connection and communication in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them, which often translates well to structured online sessions with homework and skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, test methods, and adjust techniques based on what feels most helpful, blending elements from different models when appropriate to fit the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or while juggling busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, practice skills in real-life contexts, and fit appointments into varied routines while working with licensed professionals.
