About Victoria

Victoria Burton is a licensed master social worker who helps people facing addiction, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for day-to-day problems and bigger life shifts. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and help clients find practical steps forward.

Victoria uses straightforward, evidence-based tools in sessions. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and next steps.

Background and approach

She also brings attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Expect clear explanations, simple tools to practice between sessions, and space to talk through difficult memories.

She includes motivational interviewing strategies when change feels hard or uncertain. Victoria has seven years of experience as an LMSW - licensed master social worker - practicing in Michigan. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating issues, ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, and life purpose questions. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

International clients may be supported and all sessions are conducted in English.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. Online sessions can introduce simple exercises and short practices to build clarity and reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. In virtual sessions Victoria guides clients through thought records, activity planning, and skill practice that transfer to daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect current connections. Conversations online can help clients name those patterns and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the client prefers.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging lets clients check in between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum, try tools in real time, and fit therapy into busy family schedules.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
