About Victoria
Victoria Naginsky is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with nine years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, and life changes. Victoria also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood issues such as bipolar disorder.
She uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. Victoria draws on client-centered work to listen and prioritize what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
When trauma is part of someone's history, Victoria brings experience and clinically informed methods to the work. She has helped people with trauma-related symptoms and with challenges linked to addiction, family of origin issues, and abandonment. Sessions include goal-focused planning and skills practice so people can test small changes between meetings.
Victoria often combines mindfulness and emotion-focused elements to help people name strong feelings and respond differently to them. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns. The overall emphasis is on practical steps that fit into everyday life.
People typically start by describing the trouble they want to change. From there Victoria helps set short-term targets and identifies skills to practice. Her approach keeps conversations direct and concrete, with tools and reflections a person can use right away.
How her approaches translate to online work
Victoria commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered methods focus on listening and helping a person set the goals that matter most. CBT involves noticing thoughts and behaviors, then testing small changes to reduce distress and improve functioning.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach practical ways to manage strong feelings, communicate clearly, and cope when things feel overwhelming. These skills often pair well with mindfulness exercises to help calm attention and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Victoria will work collaboratively to identify which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as work progresses so techniques can be adjusted.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting appointments around daily life, shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed, and options that reduce travel time. Ask about the specific session types offered so you can choose what fits your schedule and energy level.
