About Vicky
Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) authorized to practice in New York and has roughly 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person needs now.
Her style is direct and interactive. She talks with clients to set clear goals and builds a plan together. Vicky often uses solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and immediate problems.
Mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing also appear in her approach. Mindfulness helps people notice reactions such as rising anger or anxiety and choose a different response. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels uncertain about making shifts in behavior or substance use.
Vicky has experience across a wide range of concerns, including family of origin issues, codependency, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and grief from loss or disaster. She has worked with people dealing with fatherhood issues, blended family dynamics, and forgiveness work.
Sessions emphasize clear steps and realistic practice. People leave with tools to manage strong feelings, cope with setbacks, and try new ways of communicating. The practice is based in New York and sessions are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Vicky commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding to what matters most to the client so they can decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to respond differently.She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help people notice bodily tension and emotional patterns, which can be useful for anger or anxiety. These methods help with managing immediate reactions and setting small, measurable goals for change. Working together, the therapist and client review what techniques feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know which online options are available. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. The collaborative process focuses on finding methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and daily routine rather than promising a single solution.
