About Victoria

Victoria Burton is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, relationship and family stress, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and other mood and life-change issues.

Victoria emphasizes practical steps individuals can use to reduce distress. She uses plain, structured strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include concrete tools, short exercises, and simple homework to try between meetings.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing techniques. That mix is used to clarify values, change unhelpful patterns, and strengthen coping skills. She explains tools clearly and practices them together with the person in sessions.

Victoria pays attention to relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, and issues that often show up after trauma or loss. She can help people who struggle with body image, chronic illness, substance use, communication problems, and decision points like divorce or midlife transitions. Work may involve skill-building, behavioral experiments, and planning practical next steps.

Sessions include tools and resources when useful, and she offers brief exercises to do between meetings. International clients can be seen, and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How CBT, ACT and Attachment Work Online

CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. It uses short experiments and practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going, and it can be useful for depression, anxiety, and behavior change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing painful thoughts while choosing actions that fit personal values. It uses mindfulness skills and values-based planning to reduce avoidance and support motivation.

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current reactions and communication. This approach looks at patterns in relationships and teaches alternative ways to connect and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to use together. That process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is tracked.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try structured tools and homework without disrupting routines.
