About Victoria
Victoria Bartholomew is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety and stress. She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help clients feel steadier and more capable in daily life. Victoria keeps sessions focused and friendly so parents and busy adults can get clear tools fast.
She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy when clients want to set concrete goals and make changes that stick.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused techniques are used when past experiences keep getting in the way of feeling safe and calm. Victoria has six years of experience working with people facing relationship strain, family stress, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, and life transitions like separation or divorce. She helps people untangle blended family dynamics and workplace stress so they can make clearer choices.
Sessions often include simple exercises, practice between meetings, and step-by-step planning. Her style is collaborative and goal minded. She listens first, then suggests small, doable steps to try between sessions.
Clients leave with practical skills they can use right away, whether that means emotion regulation tools, behavior changes, or communication strategies. Victoria practices in Kansas and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She speaks English and works with adults who want support managing anxiety, depression, and life change challenges.
Approaches that guide online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood in place. It is practical and problem focused, often using short exercises and between-session practice to build new habits.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes breathing and grounding techniques, as well as strategies for handling conflict and reducing overwhelm.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find the motivation to make changes. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made, keeping sessions practical and focused on real-world results.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when they want that connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support, or people who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, parenting schedules, or busy routines while keeping the work goal oriented and skills based.
