About Victoria
Victoria Bartholomew is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with six years of clinical experience. She practices in Kansas and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, depression, trauma and life changes.
Victoria focuses on straightforward conversation. She listens to what is happening at home, what feels off, and what practical changes are possible. Sessions move at a clear pace so people can try small shifts and notice what helps.
Her work often includes skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage distressing thoughts and strong emotions. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas to set short-term goals and find workable next steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when past hurt is affecting day-to-day life.
People contact her for blended family issues, divorce and separation concerns, control struggles, workplace stress, and the strain of parenting. She also supports young adults and women working on self-love and self-esteem. The focus is on practical tools and clearer communication at home.
Sessions are direct and collaborative. Victoria helps people identify one or two things to try between meetings. Progress is built from small, sustained changes rather than big promises.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in sessions. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help when parenting or dealing with conflict.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about what feels useful and pick methods that match needs, goals, and personal preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins between responsibilities, fewer travel demands, or options that don't require being on camera. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and apply new skills in everyday situations.
