About Victoria
Victoria Cashio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Hawaii with 11 years of clinical experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, sleep problems, ADHD, parenting concerns, and career difficulties. She also has experience working with trauma, including combat and sexual trauma, and with people facing grief, addiction, or compassion fatigue.
Victoria uses a person-centered approach as the foundation of her work. That means conversations are shaped by what each person brings and what they find useful. She also integrates methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness when those tools fit a client’s goals.
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and managing intense feelings. Victoria helps people name the patterns that cause stress and try small, manageable changes. She pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin issues when these come up in sessions.
Her background includes clinical work with trauma and with veterans and armed forces issues. Over the years she has supported people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and major life changes such as divorce or separation. Victoria notes that feedback is welcome and that she adjusts the work based on what clients report back.
She practices in Hawaii and offers services in English. The site uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session.
How sessions work
How Victoria applies therapeutic approaches online
Victoria frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when appropriate. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry and improve sleep or mood. EMDR uses structured processing of distressing memories and can be helpful for people who report trauma symptoms.She also uses a person-centered way of working combined with techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. Mindfulness practices help with attention, grounding, and noticing stress without judgment. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking since specific formats were not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, not needing to travel, or avoiding video when bandwidth is poor. Therapists generally help arrange a rhythm and schedule that fits everyday routines while focusing on practical skills and problem solving.
