About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in New York. She brings about 20 years of experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and anger. Vicky also works with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, career pressures, and life transitions.

Her style is direct and interactive. She talks with people to pin down practical goals. Then she and the client agree on steps to try and track what works. Sessions focus on clear problem-solving rather than long theory talks.

Vicky uses several practical methods in session. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thought and behavior patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and small changes. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to manage stress and reactivity.

She also uses principles from Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when helpful. That means conversations aim to respect what each person values and to build motivation for change. The work tends to be collaborative and goal-focused.

Clients can expect straightforward feedback and concrete tools to try between sessions. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan. It helps clarify what matters to the client and shapes sessions around their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses exercises to change patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and stress.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Vicky will help clients decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time based on what proves useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join without travel time. It also supports using between-session tools like thought records, brief mindfulness practices, and goal-setting exercises that link directly to the methods described above.
