About Victoria
Victoria Haltom is a Licensed Master Social Worker - LMSW in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, codependency, grief, addiction concerns, and stress related to caregiving, career, or life changes.
She offers straightforward, practical sessions that focus on skills and clarity. Victoria uses a mix of approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of responding, and build clearer boundaries. Sessions may include breathing and relaxation techniques alongside cognitive work to calm racing thoughts.
Her training includes methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and existential ideas. She adapts tools from these approaches to match what the person needs that week. That can mean practicing a new communication skill one session and working on distress tolerance the next.
Victoria has experience in outpatient therapy and telecounseling since 2015. Earlier work included case management in a senior independent living setting, where she helped older adults find resources and supports. That background informs her practical focus on problem solving and daily routines.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships will find sessions that target those patterns directly. She asks clear questions, suggests concrete exercises, and follows up on what is or is not working. The goal is to help people feel more steady and more able to make decisions that match their priorities.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connection patterns shape current relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses short exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Victoria will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps most. Many people shift between skills practice and deeper reflection over several sessions to find what fits their needs and preferences.
The original biography notes telecounseling experience but does not list specific session formats here. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. It also lets people try exercises in the context of their daily routine so skills can be practiced between sessions.
