About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and parenting challenges. She supports clients facing trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, career strain, and major life changes. Vicky also works with issues like codependency, blended family stress, caregiver burden, and forgiveness.

Her style is direct, honest, and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens first, then helps people build a plan that fits their needs.

Vicky draws on several approaches to do this. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to shape conversations around the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy is used when slowing down and paying attention in the moment can reduce stress and reactivity.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change addictive or risky patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-directed and short-term when that works best. These methods are mixed depending on what a person needs that day.

Vicky has two decades of practice experience. She works with adults and has a background that includes helping people with developmental disabilities earlier in her career. Her focus is on working together to set realistic steps and measurable goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down and notice thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. Online work can use guided breathing, short practices, and check-ins to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's priorities and experiences, so the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and practices concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or caregiving. It also lets people use practices learned in session in real-time between appointments, which can speed up skill-building and make therapy more practical for day-to-day challenges.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
