About Victoria
Victoria Bartholomew centers her work in evidence-informed methods, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for change. She combines this approach with elements from dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused techniques to tailor care to each person's needs.
Background and approach
With six years of professional experience and an LCSW credential, she brings both clinical training and hands-on practice to common life challenges. Victoria focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, and self-esteem.
She also addresses blended family dynamics, control issues, divorce and separation, workplace struggles, women's issues, young adult concerns, and broader coping with life changes. Working from Kansas, she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop clearer goals.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and effort from both client and clinician, with encouragement for clients committed to doing the work to create meaningful change. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different lifestyles and schedules.
Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy
Victoria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and test unhelpful thoughts and to learn concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when relationships or overwhelming feelings are central concerns.Deciding which approach fits best is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, assess needs, and try techniques that align with their preferences and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress and feedback indicate.
Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other demands. These online options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access skills-based interventions between meetings, and schedule appointments in ways that fit daily life.
