About Vicky
Vicky Burgh-Harris helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, parenting concerns, trauma, and changes in life. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she speaks plain language to make therapy feel doable for everyday life. Her approach is warm and straightforward so people can focus on what matters most.
Vicky draws on about 20 years of clinical experience across many settings. She uses a mix of practical methods to address mood, coping, and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal setting, problem-solving, and skills practice that people can try between meetings. Her work includes supporting people with family and communication problems, intimacy issues, anger, career stress, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. She also helps those facing substance use concerns, grief, divorce, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and aging-related challenges.
In session Vicky keeps things interactive and honest. She collaborates with each person to pick a clear plan and adjusts that plan as progress is made. The focus is on manageable steps and real-world strategies rather than jargon.
Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that balances listening with practical guidance. The goal is to build tools for coping, improve relationships, and support healing after trauma or loss. Vicky aims to help people move forward at a pace that fits their life.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward goals that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It includes practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It can be useful for stress, trauma reactions, and managing urges.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches above in practical ways.
