About Victoria

Victoria Rockholt is a Washington licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related life changes. Her focus includes guilt and shame, self-esteem, and coping with difficult transitions.

She approaches sessions assuming the client knows their own story. She listens for strengths and practical options clients can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and grounded in everyday life rather than clinical jargon. Victoria encourages small, concrete steps that can reduce overwhelming feelings and help restore a sense of control.

Her background includes long-term work supporting people after trauma and in periods of major change. She helps people name specific problems, such as panic, low mood, obsessive thoughts, or trouble communicating at work or home. When guilt or shame is present, she helps clients look at how those feelings affect choices and relationships.

Victoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on what can be done now. She and the client decide which methods to try based on the issue at hand and how the person responds. This may include practice between sessions and checking what helps in daily life.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Victoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on current problems and practical change. One common approach is cognitive-style work that helps identify unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps when worry, negative self-judgments, or guilt feel overwhelming.

Another approach is trauma-informed care that pays attention to how past events affect reactions today. Sessions using this perspective help people notice triggers, practice grounding or coping skills, and build tolerance for difficult memories without re-traumatizing them.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods in sessions, and adjust based on what actually helps. That means starting with clear, manageable steps and changing course if something isn’t working.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or a video conversation that mirrors an in-person meeting. Because formats were not listed in the biography, confirm which session types are currently offered before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
