About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. She also addresses trauma and abuse, anger, career changes, and codependency concerns.

Vicky uses a straightforward, interactive counseling style. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds a plan together to reach clear goals.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals front and center. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Solution-focused tools help identify small changes that make daily life easier.

Vicky blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit a person’s needs. She aims to match methods to the individual rather than stick to one way of working. This flexible approach supports people through life transitions, relationship decisions, parenting stress, and recovery from substance issues.

With two decades of experience, she brings steady support and practical guidance. People who want clear steps and a collaborative plan may find this approach useful. To begin, follow the site’s booking steps and complete the brief matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and helps people shape progress at their own pace, which can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Vicky also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. These techniques can support emotion regulation, stress reduction, and clearer decision making. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new concerns emerge. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from work breaks or home. It can also let people use phone or video options when they prefer less travel or need a quieter setup.
