About Victoria
Victoria Haltom is a licensed Master of Social Work who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a broad range of life challenges.
Background and approach
With 12 years of experience, she draws on practical strategies to address issues such as addictions, self-esteem struggles, parenting and caregiver stress, sleep and eating concerns, career transitions, and trauma-related difficulties. She also works with clients facing chronic illness, body image and communication problems, and personality-related patterns that interfere with daily life.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods and a client-centered stance to create a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship. Victoria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-based and existential perspectives, DBT skills, mindfulness, and other techniques to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen interpersonal functioning.
She emphasizes partnering with clients to identify priorities, practice new skills, and adapt strategies to real-life circumstances. Based in Michigan, Victoria offers a nonjudgmental space for exploration and practical problem solving.
Her background includes outpatient therapy and telecounseling since 2015, and prior work coordinating services in senior living settings, which contributes to a versatile, person-focused practice.
How her approach translates to online therapy
Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients improve connection, trust, and communication in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She emphasizes collaboration, listening to a client’s goals and preferences, and adjusting methods over time so the plan fits each person’s needs and circumstances.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity during transitions. These formats support skill practice, crisis planning, and consistent check-ins while providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations.
