About Victoria
Victoria Lichtman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes, including social anxiety and isolation.
She helps people who feel stuck by using straightforward, practical steps. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Victoria emphasizes emotional regulation and building small, manageable coping skills that fit daily life.
Before clinical work she worked in the humanitarian and human rights sector with nonprofit organizations in the United States and overseas. That background shaped her interest in how culture and identity affect values and purpose. She has experience supporting immigrants, people involved with the justice system, and those facing caregiving strain, chronic pain, grief, and substance use challenges.
Victoria uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to challenge limiting beliefs and change unhelpful patterns. She describes her overall orientation as humanistic and collaborative, which means she works together with clients to make sense of their stories and find practical next steps.
Sessions focus on developing tools for emotional regulation, addressing attachment and control issues, and navigating relationship problems like infidelity or separation. She also offers support around midlife questions, career shifts, and issues related to multicultural identity and veterans' concerns.

How evidence-based techniques work in online sessions
Victoria describes using cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves noticing patterns of thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. It is often used for stress, social anxiety, and relationship-related worry.She also emphasizes emotional regulation skills. Emotional regulation work teaches concrete ways to manage intense feelings, such as slowing breathing, naming sensations, and trying small behavioral experiments. This approach supports clearer thinking and steadier reactions during difficult moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels practical, and then help decide which techniques to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
