About Victoria
Victoria Haltom is a licensed Master of Social Work who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and ADHD. She approaches sessions with respect and a nonjudgmental attitude. Her goal is to build a practical partnership focused on improving daily life.
She uses straightforward talk and hands-on tools to address problems that get in the way of functioning. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. Victoria blends client-centered listening with skills-focused methods from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming. She encourages breathing and mindfulness tools that clients can use between sessions.
Sessions aim to increase coping skills and reduce immediate stress. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and twelve years of clinical experience. She has provided individual and couples therapy and has worked in outpatient and telecounseling settings.
Earlier work included case management in senior living, helping older adults access practical resources. In sessions she prioritizes clear communication and practical plans. People can expect collaborative goal setting and gentle challenges that focus on daily routines, sleep, eating, communication, and self-care.
The style is down-to-earth and goal oriented. Therapy is presented as a step-by-step process. Victoria helps clients identify what is not working, practice new skills, and track small changes over time.
She frames progress as steady and manageable rather than sudden or perfect.
Approach, Goals, and Online Sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people connect and respond to stress. It helps when relationship habits keep showing up in adult life and cause recurring conflict or distance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating problems, and improving daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Victoria works with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused contacts when needed. These options support regular work on coping skills, emotional regulation, and day-to-day changes without requiring in-person visits.
