About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and midlife concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people looking for clear steps forward.

She draws on 20 years of clinical experience to shape each session. Vicky prefers an open and interactive style where the person sets goals and the session focuses on what will make a difference. She blends client-centered conversation with targeted strategies to address thinking patterns and behavior.

Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused methods, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to build skills, shift unhelpful habits, and set small, achievable goals. Sessions concentrate on workable steps rather than lengthy theory.

Vicky has worked with a wide range of concerns across adulthood and with complex family-related issues. She pays attention to family of origin, caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, substance use, and commitment or abandonment concerns. The emphasis stays on practical change and clearer choices.

People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach often find her style helpful. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s matching process and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. Vicky aims to help people make steady progress toward the goals they name.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work puts the person’s priorities first and focuses on listening and practical planning. It helps when someone wants a space to sort through feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns with clear tools and exercises. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress when a client wants structure and homework-like practice. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple awareness techniques that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting someone choose sessions without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational interviewing prompts, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
