Victoria Burton

Victoria Burton is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. Victoria helps people who feel stuck after a change, struggle with self-esteem, or are coping with grief and parenting stress.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on identifying values, building coping skills, and making small, manageable changes. She offers tools and homework when they fit a person’s goals, and prefers an active, collaborative style rather than a lecture format.

Victoria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address painful thoughts and unhelpful behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and abandonment issues. Motivational Interviewing can be used when substance use or motivation for change is part of the concern.

Sessions typically involve clear goal-setting and step-by-step experiments someone can try between meetings. She talks through concrete strategies for mood regulation, relapse prevention, body image work, and communication problems. The focus is on usable practices people can apply in daily life.

Victoria accepts international clients and works in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches are used in online sessions

Victoria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting ruled by them and committing to value-based steps that feel doable.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT work typically includes simple experiments and skill practice to reduce symptoms like low mood, anxiety, or unhelpful eating behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy informs conversations about relationship patterns, abandonment, and communication problems by looking at how early relationship experiences influence current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. That means plans can change if a different approach seems more helpful.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins, and reduce travel time. They also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. The practical aim is to make therapy easier to attend while focusing on skills and strategies that transfer into everyday life.
