About Victoria
Victoria Lichtman is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with three years of clinical experience based in Wisconsin. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also helps people address family of origin issues and related topics such as attachment concerns and isolation.
She draws on her social work background and earlier humanitarian and human rights work in non-profit settings in the U.S. and overseas. This experience informs how she notices cultural and social factors that shape identity, values, and purpose. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than jargon or long theory discussions.
Victoria often uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help people identify and challenge limiting beliefs. That work aims to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors and build concrete coping strategies for daily life. She emphasizes emotional regulation skills as a way to manage stress and strengthen resilience.
Her style is humanistic and collaborative. She listens for patterns linked to family of origin and past relationships and helps clients test small changes to old roles and expectations. Conversations commonly include problem-solving, behavioral experiments, and practice of emotional regulation skills between sessions.
People who choose to work with her typically want direct, practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve relationships, or navigate a life transition. To begin, prospective clients complete an intake match questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions using CBT typically include setting clear goals, practicing behavioral experiments, and reviewing progress each week. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and problematic patterns rooted in family of origin.Emotional regulation skills teach ways to notice strong feelings and use concrete strategies to reduce overwhelm. These techniques are practical exercises clients can practice between sessions, such as breathing, grounding, and brief behavioral changes to reduce reactivity. They are useful for stress, relationship conflict, and coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them based on how well they fit the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to use short check-ins or longer sessions as needed. It also lets people do practice exercises in context and review notes between meetings to reinforce skills.
