Victoria Dunham

Victoria Dunham is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and concerns about self-esteem. Victoria also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next.

She asks for honesty and openness in sessions and encourages vulnerability as a starting point. Sessions focus on listening, reflection, and practical guidance rather than abstract theory. Victoria aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try different strategies to change those patterns.

Her background includes working with a range of presenting concerns and drawing on a variety of tools to address them. Victoria emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step work toward the changes a person wants. She also names specific struggles she addresses, such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.

Victoria supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, first responder issues, and challenges related to intellectual disability. She also works with issues tied to personality patterns like avoidant and antisocial traits and with mood conditions including disruptive mood dysregulation disorder and bipolar disorder.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and invites people to be determined and open-minded in sessions. To begin, she asks clients to be willing to reflect and to try new approaches together.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Victoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so people can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and take clearer steps toward goals. Another approach emphasizes building awareness of emotional patterns and learning practical skills to manage strong feelings after trauma or during mood swings.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Victoria will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try, checking in about what helps and adjusting the approach as needed. That collaborative process helps tailor which techniques are used and how sessions are paced.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy day, keeping appointments when travel is difficult, or avoiding time spent commuting. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and options that reduce the need to be on camera. Ask about the available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
