Victoria Lichtman, LCSW

Victoria Lichtman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and major life transitions with compassionate, individualized care. She focuses on social anxiety, isolation, self-esteem, and personal growth, guiding clients toward outcomes that align with their values and daily needs. Victoria brings three years of clinical experience and a background in humanitarian and human rights work in nonprofit agencies both in the United States and overseas, which informs her sensitivity to cultural and contextual influences on identity and purpose.

She has worked with diverse adult populations, including immigrants, justice-involved individuals, and people facing significant life stressors such as socioeconomic barriers, chronic pain, grief, caregiving responsibilities, and substance use challenges. Victoria emphasizes the role of culture in shaping values and life meaning, and she draws on that understanding when exploring a person’s goals and story.

Clinically, she relies primarily on cognitive behavioral therapy - helping clients identify and challenge limiting beliefs, change unhelpful behaviors, and build practical coping strategies. She prioritizes emotional regulation as a foundation for resilience and improved functioning. Her humanistic, collaborative approach treats each person as an active author of their own story, and she partners with clients to discover what works best for their lives. Victoria looks forward to helping clients deepen self-understanding and develop tools for lasting change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Victoria Lichtman uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts, test new ways of thinking, and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties. She also draws from a humanistic, collaborative approach that focuses on meaning making and storytelling - helping clients explore values, build self-understanding, and shape a life that feels authentic and purposeful. Both approaches emphasize skill building and emotional regulation so clients can better manage day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Victoria works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with what is most helpful. Clients are partners in shaping the pace and focus of sessions.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits - greater scheduling flexibility, easier access from home or work, and the ability to continue care during life transitions. These options make it simpler to engage in consistent work toward goals while accommodating busy lives and varied circumstances.
