About Victoria

Victoria Bartholomew is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with six years of clinical experience based in Kansas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tensions, family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Victoria also focuses on blended family issues, divorce and separation, control issues, self-love, women's issues, workplace pressures, and challenges faced by young adults.

Her work is practical and direct. She listens to what is happening now and helps people identify small, manageable steps forward. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, testing new ways of responding, and reviewing what worked or didn’t. Victoria uses well-known methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide these steps.

She often draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and on Motivational Interviewing to clarify what clients want to change. For people who have been harmed by past events, Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when needed. These methods are used to address concrete issues like co-parenting arrangements, merging household routines, or anxiety about new family roles.

Victoria keeps language plain and sessions straightforward. She helps clients name patterns that cause strain and practices alternative responses in session. That makes it easier to try new behaviors at home and then bring feedback back to therapy.

To begin, readers are invited to use the online intake to match and schedule a first session. The therapist works in English and does not take international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work

Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving reactions in stressful family or work situations.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they really want to change and to build commitment to those changes. These approaches are described in plain terms and applied to everyday problems like co-parenting, becoming a stepparent, or handling workplace stress. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many clients choose online sessions because they fit better around work, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can make it easier to practice new skills between meetings and report back on what changed.
