About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with addictions, family problems, trauma, parenting strain, anger, and life changes.

Her style is direct and interactive. She talks openly with clients to build a clear plan. Sessions aim to set realistic, step-by-step goals that fit each person’s life.

Vicky draws on several practical approaches, including solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral ideas. She uses these to help people change patterns of thinking and try small experiments between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce overwhelm and increase moment-to-moment control.

With two decades of experience, she brings familiarity with a wide range of concerns such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and addiction-related difficulties. Her background includes work with adults, adolescents, children, and people with developmental disabilities.

People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, goal-oriented plans, and regular checks on progress. She invites clients to shape the plan, adjust as needed, and focus on practical steps that feel doable.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what matters most in their life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to test and change them. Both approaches can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods, check what works, and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client’s needs.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice techniques between sessions in the places where problems happen most often. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
