About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Her tone is direct and interactive, aimed at people who want clear steps and real change.

She uses a mix of practical approaches rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and small, manageable steps toward those goals. Vicky blends solution-focused work with cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening to build plans that fit each person.

Vicky brings about 20 years of experience to her practice. She aims to create straightforward treatment plans and to involve people in choosing what will work best for them. Her background includes work across a range of concerns, including addictions and trauma.

Her style is open, honest, and interactive. She talks through options with clients and adjusts the plan as needed. People can expect practical strategies, thought work, and mindfulness practices when they are useful.

To begin, Vicky asks about current struggles and goals and then helps set clear steps forward. She focuses on small changes that add up over time, helping people manage feelings, rebuild routines, and handle difficult moments more effectively.

How Vicky’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Vicky often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and making the session match what the person needs, which helps when someone wants a supportive, reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and habit changes.

She frames the process as collaborative. Together the therapist and client review goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a single upfront decision, and the therapist checks in regularly to see what is or isn't working.

If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow continued work during life changes. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to keep momentum between in-person appointments. Licensed professionals adapt their methods so therapy remains practical and focused, even when delivered remotely.
