About Victoria
Victoria Lichtman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, career questions, and big life changes. She uses a direct, practical style and aims to help people feel steadier day to day. Victoria communicates with warmth and clear steps for progress.
She draws on prior work in humanitarian and human rights settings, including roles with nonprofit agencies in the U.S. and overseas.
How Victoria works
That background shaped her interest in culture, identity, immigration issues, and the stress that comes with major life disruptions. She brings that perspective into sessions in Wisconsin and listens for how culture and life experience shape beliefs and choices. Victoria uses evidence-based techniques grounded in cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge limiting thoughts and build new habits.
She also focuses on emotional regulation skills so people can manage strong feelings more effectively. Her approach is collaborative and humanistic - sessions are a conversation about what matters to the individual. Typical work includes developing practical coping strategies, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing skills between sessions.
She is comfortable addressing attachment concerns, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, grief, guilt, shame, and multicultural concerns. She also supports people dealing with immigration-related stress, veteran and armed forces issues, HIV/AIDS concerns, and recovery from infidelity or separation. Victoria holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and has three years of clinical experience.
Sessions are conducted in English and delivered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Victoria uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach breaks problems into smaller steps and teaches concrete tools for anxiety, low mood, and relationship stress.She emphasizes emotional regulation skills to help people tolerate strong feelings and respond more intentionally. These skills can make day-to-day challenges feel more manageable and improve reactions to conflict or unexpected change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set small goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people meet face to face, phone sessions can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter exchanges. These choices help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
