About Victoria

Victoria Haltom is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, anger, and related concerns. Victoria uses practical conversations and skills work to help people reduce reactivity and cope with day-to-day demands.

She draws from several therapeutic approaches and keeps sessions direct and approachable. Therapy often includes learning breathing and relaxation techniques, building communication skills, and developing concrete coping plans for strong emotions. Sessions can also focus on habits around sleep, eating, and work stress when those areas feed into anger or low mood.

Victoria’s background includes outpatient therapy and telecounseling since 2015, plus earlier case management experience in senior independent living. That history contributes to a practical focus on connecting people with resources and strategies that fit their life circumstances. She holds an LMSW and earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California.

Across sessions she mixes methods such as cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness exercises, and attachment-informed conversation. That lets her work on thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns that keep problems cycling. Clients can expect clear suggestions and short exercises to try between sessions.

People come to her for help with anger management, addiction-related struggles, caregiver stress, career pressure, and adjusting to major life changes. She also supports concerns like intimacy issues, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. The focus is on practical tools to reduce reactive moments and improve day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how past relationship experiences shape reactions and trust, which can reduce reactive anger and improve communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to test new responses to triggering situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is useful when strong feelings lead to impulsive reactions.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with clients about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as needed based on progress and preference.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, try brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and practice breathing or mindfulness exercises between appointments. The focus is on integrating therapy into daily life so skills get used where they matter most.
