About Victoria

Victoria Burton is a Michigan-based licensed social worker (LMSW) who focuses on helping people navigate complex emotional and behavioral challenges. She blends practical skill-building with a trauma-informed, compassionate stance to support recovery from addiction, manage mood concerns, and strengthen self-worth.

Background and approach

Her work centers on collaborative goal-setting and practical strategies that clients can use between sessions to cope with stressors and life changes. With seven years of clinical experience, Victoria draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-informed techniques to address issues such as grief, relationship difficulties, and eating concerns.

She also attends to related areas like communication problems, chronic illness adjustment, and symptoms common to mood and bipolar disorders. Victoria offers tools, resources, and optional homework to reinforce progress and help clients build resilience and self-compassion over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Victoria draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behaviors. CBT typically involves practical exercises and changes in thinking and routine to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, life transitions, and struggles with motivation or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Victoria will work with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful, adjusting techniques based on individual goals, preferences, and progress rather than relying on a single fixed model.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Michigan or abroad and allow clients to use formats that suit their daily routines and communication styles.
