About Victoria
Victoria Haltom is a licensed Master of Social Work with 12 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and issues around self-esteem and addiction. She practices from Michigan and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Victoria aims to build a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership focused on practical change and better coping.
Her approach blends several methods to fit each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections.
How Victoria works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Victoria draws on a client-centered stance, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s priorities in sessions.
She has worked in outpatient settings and provided telecounseling since 2015. Earlier work included case management at a senior independent living facility, which gave experience helping older adults access resources. In practical terms, sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and everyday strategies for better routines, sleep, and communication.
She addresses a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, and career transitions. Victoria also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. People meet her to gain tools for coping, improve relationships, and make steady changes in day-to-day life.
If someone prefers a mix of talk, skill practice, and mindfulness, Victoria offers a straightforward, collaborative style to help move forward.

How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional patterns, helping people understand where fears of abandonment or communication blocks come from. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals, creating a space where a person sets the pace and priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change negative thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that match those needs. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as progress happens.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video enables face-to-face conversation and visual cues while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into a busy life.
