About Victoria
Victoria Bartholomew is an LCSW with six years of clinical experience based in Kansas. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Victoria helps people who are ready to try practical changes and consistent effort to feel different in daily life.
She uses straightforward methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions include talking through current problems, testing new ways of responding, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings. Work often centers on improving communication, managing intense feelings, and restoring confidence after difficult experiences.
Victoria draws from several approaches to match what a client needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift thought patterns and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques guide goal setting and quick, practical steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy is included when past hurt needs direct attention.
Her style is direct and practical - clients will get concrete strategies to try outside sessions. She also helps sort out blended family dynamics, control issues, divorce and separation impacts, workplace stress, young adult transitions, and women's issues. Language of work is English and she does not accept international clients.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her methods translate to online work
Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test new behaviors, which fits well into short, structured online check-ins. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify goals and build commitment to change.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, reviewing how they felt, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to one fixed path from the start.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Online work can reduce travel and make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or parenting duties. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another supported option will be used. Sessions retain the same focus on skill building, behavior experiments, and goal setting as in-person work.
