About Victoria
Victoria Burton is a Michigan licensed therapist with a Master of Social Work and seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults carrying complex emotional concerns, including addiction, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and guilt and shame.
Victoria keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what people tell her matters most. She listens for how past events, relationships, and daily stresses shape how someone thinks and acts now. She uses practical tools and short exercises when they help, and offers reading or homework if a client wants extra structure.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Victoria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas guide how she talks about early relationships and their impact on current bonds.
Victoria helps people who are coping with eating concerns, bipolar and other mood conditions, ADHD, and the fallout from abuse or loss. She also supports people dealing with body image, forgiveness, and communication problems after separation or divorce. Practical problem solving and motivational interviewing are used when someone is facing change or substance use challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and Victoria accepts international clients. She works with clients to set clear goals, use tools between sessions when helpful, and track progress in simple ways. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Victoria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values; it can help with guilt, shame, and decisions about change. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns that keep problems going.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship experiences shape current connections and communication. That perspective can be useful when working through relationship strain, abandonment worries, or long-standing patterns that tie into shame.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. Victoria will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. The work can shift over time as needs change and as people try different tools.
