About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York. She has 20 years of clinical experience working with adults and a wide range of concerns. Many people seek her help for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and substance use issues.

Her style is direct and interactive. She works with clients to set clear goals and a practical plan. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way of daily functioning and on small steps that can change patterns.

Vicky uses several evidence-informed approaches in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on strengths and small, achievable changes rather than long problem analysis.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help people be more present and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change, including those coping with addiction or lifestyle shifts.

Her background includes work with people facing family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, caregiving stress, and codependency-related patterns. She is familiar with issues like abandonment, blended family concerns, and problems that follow separation or divorce.

Practical matters such as fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to shift thinking and behavior, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment focus. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. If one approach is not helpful, they will try different strategies and track what leads to progress. Session logistics should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Confirm whether sessions are offered by video or phone when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter phone check-in can work during a lunch break, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel. These practical options can help people keep therapy consistent while managing work and family commitments.
