About Victoria
Victoria Dunham is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. She welcomes people who are willing to be open and honest during sessions and encourages clients to try new ways of coping.
Victoria asks clients to be transparent and ready to try vulnerability as part of the work. She listens closely and helps people reflect on their patterns. She offers practical guidance aimed at reducing repeated unhelpful behaviors and improving day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes working with a range of concerns and using several evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In sessions she focuses on clarifying goals, identifying obstacles, and practicing new skills that people can use outside the appointment. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time.
Victoria supports people who want to change old habits and move toward a stronger sense of self. She balances encouragement with direct feedback and offers guidance for handling setbacks. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to how feelings, thoughts, and behavior interact.
For people unsure how to begin, she recommends starting with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Victoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life skills and behavior change. One common approach she uses involves structured practice to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, helping people notice patterns and try alternative responses that reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for managing strong emotions and impulsivity, offering step-by-step strategies to handle distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. She works with each person to identify goals, tries methods that fit those goals, and adjusts the plan based on what helps. The client’s preferences and daily demands shape which techniques are used and how sessions are paced.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework so they work between sessions and in everyday settings.
