Victoria Burton, LMSW

Victoria Burton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing addictions, mood struggles, and big life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so parents can find clear steps forward. Her manner is calm and focused on what will help day to day.

She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and other evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Victoria also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when they fit the situation. Sessions can include goal-setting, short exercises, and take-home tools to practice between meetings.

Victoria has seven years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Her focus includes trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, grief, ADHD, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with relationship conflict, parenting strain, and substance use concerns.

In a session she listens for what matters most to each person and shapes practical steps around those priorities. She offers motivational interviewing style questions to help clients find their own reasons for change and client-centered ways to pace progress.

Victoria provides services from Michigan and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients may be accepted and all work is conducted in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Victoria integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through small experiments, which works well over video or text because homework and tracking are easy to share. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take committed action; it often uses brief mindfulness exercises and values-based planning that fit well into short check-ins or messaging exchanges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk through options with each client and pick or combine approaches based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust pacing and techniques over time so sessions remain useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps focus. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, quick tools between meetings, and flexible scheduling that fits busy family or work days.
