About Victoria
Victoria Ortiz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career concerns, and adjusting to life changes.
She has worked with victims of crime and first responders, and assists people coping with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and workplace difficulties. Victoria also supports those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault or abuse, and people living with HIV/AIDS. Panic attacks and other intense anxiety symptoms are within her experience as well.
Victoria uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people processing traumatic memories, when appropriate.
In conversations she focuses on what is happening now and what can be tried next. Sessions involve noticing patterns, practicing new skills, and checking what helps. The aim is steady, manageable steps rather than big leaps.
People who choose her can expect direct, structured work on specific problems. Victoria asks about goals, explains options, and plans short-term steps to try between meetings. She encourages feedback so sessions stay practical and focused on concrete progress.
How CBT and EMDR can work in online sessions
Victoria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then practices alternative responses that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and the feelings they trigger, when a person and therapist agree it fits the concern and timing.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options, consider the client's goals and preferences, and try methods that make sense together. Sessions can shift focus as needs change, with regular check-ins about what is helping.
Confirm the specific online session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or phone-only meetings if that is more practical. Discussing these practical details up front helps plan sessions that match everyday life without assuming a single format.
