About Victoria

Victoria Haltom is a licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) based in Michigan who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of life and health-related challenges.

Background and approach

She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy, aiming to build a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership that helps clients clarify goals and develop skills to improve daily functioning and life satisfaction.

Her practice blends several evidence-informed methods to match each client’s needs, drawing from Internal Family Systems, attachment-focused perspectives, cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, and client-centered techniques.

Victoria has provided individual and couples therapy in outpatient and telecounseling settings since 2015 and earlier worked in senior independent living, where she focused on case management and helping older adults access resources to enhance quality of life.

She emphasizes collaboration, practical coping tools, mindfulness and breath work, and tailored interventions for concerns such as caregiver stress, communication difficulties, body image, chronic illness impacts, and adjustment to life changes. Victoria asks clients to consider fit and aims to invest time and expertise to create a constructive therapeutic relationship that addresses presenting problems and supports sustainable change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as composed of parts with different roles and feelings; online sessions can guide clients to notice and work with those parts to reduce internal conflict and shift toward greater self-leadership, which can help with trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional safety within close relationships and helps clients explore how past attachment experiences shape current connections and reactions, useful for relationship issues, grief, and intimacy struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and will adjust techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity of care when life circumstances change. These remote formats let clients access a licensed professional from their own location while using the approaches above in a way that fits their communication style and daily routine.
