About Vicky
Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addictions, and mood-related challenges. She offers straightforward support for parents and adults who are managing relationship issues, parenting struggles, or changes in life circumstances. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Her style is open and interactive. She listens without judgment and works with each person to build a plan that fits their situation.
Background and approach
Vicky blends practical problem-solving with ways to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She draws on client-centered methods to make room for each person's values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thought patterns that influence feelings and actions.
Solution-focused techniques steer conversations toward small, concrete changes that can make daily life easier. Vicky has two decades of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She practices from New York and uses approaches that adapt to the needs of parents and individuals facing family-related stressors.
Sessions are collaborative. The therapist and client set goals together and check progress along the way. Vicky emphasizes clear steps, practical tools, and compassion while working toward healthier routines and relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Vicky uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that are easy to follow. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple tools people can use to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes and on building steps that move daily life forward rather than rehashing every problem.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Vicky treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adjust techniques based on a client's goals, preferences, and real-life needs. She checks in on progress and changes the plan if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let parents and busy adults fit sessions into their schedules and keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide regular, consistent care while adapting tools and homework to what the client can manage in daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
