About Victoria

Victoria Naginsky is a licensed mental health clinician who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and major life transitions. She approaches therapy with compassion and a practical orientation, offering clear direction alongside empathic listening to help clients identify goals and make meaningful changes.

Background and approach

Victoria combines evidence-informed strategies with a belief that thoughts shape behavior and wellbeing, using approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills.

With nine years of clinical experience and dual credentials as an LMHC and LPCC, Victoria brings experience supporting concerns that include trauma and abuse, family conflict, relationship and communication problems, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, and career-related challenges.

She also works with issues like codependency, attachment and abandonment themes, body image, substance use, and problems stemming from family of origin. Based in Florida, she offers session formats that include video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Offered Online

Victoria often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related problems. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, providing empathic listening and collaboration to help people feel heard while they clarify values and goals. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can reduce crisis-driven reactions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Victoria works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors techniques so the work fits the individual. This means methods may shift over time as progress is made or priorities change, with the client actively involved in deciding the path forward.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible around busy schedules. These formats allow for consistent contact, practice of new skills between meetings, and the convenience of attending from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
