Victoria Cannon

Victoria Cannon is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice in Arizona. She helps people find calmer moments in busy lives and work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Victoria focuses on practical coping skills and building a steady therapeutic relationship as the base for change.

She pays attention to how past experiences and current situations connect. That helps clients make sense of patterns like attachment wounds, codependency, or reactions to loss. Sessions aim to reduce distress from panic, mood disorders, grief, and compassion fatigue while supporting clearer decision making around career, parenting, and intimacy.

Her approach draws on mindfulness and body-focused techniques alongside therapies that address values and relationships. Victoria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify personal values and encourage actions that matter. She also brings Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused methods to help people shift painful patterns in close relationships.

Victoria describes therapy as a collaborative process. She spends time learning each person’s goals, then tailors tools and experiments to fit daily life. This can include breath and awareness practices, brief behavior changes, and guided conversations about boundaries and safety.

Her stated focus areas include trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and food-related issues, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, postpartum depression, and coping with disasters. She also works with issues such as abandonment, dissociation, fatherhood problems, and shame. Victoria uses she/her pronouns in sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Victoria uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people build moment-to-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and practice calm through simple attention and breathing exercises that can be used between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shows people how to identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based approaches focus on understanding patterns in close relationships and learning new ways to connect and feel safer with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients try different techniques and decide what fits their needs, goals, and daily routine. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The biography notes messaging-based clients specifically, so confirm the therapist's current session options before booking for other formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where challenges happen and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
