About Vicky

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, and trauma-related concerns. She brings two decades of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her manner is direct and approachable, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer ways forward. She uses a mix of methods rather than a single prescription.

Background and approach

Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and short-term strategies that address day-to-day problems. Cognitive approaches help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior, while solution-focused techniques aim to build immediate, workable changes. Vicky emphasizes collaboration.

She listens to what matters most to each person and then shapes the plan around those priorities. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing are added when people want help managing strong emotions or finding motivation for change. Her background includes work across varied client needs over many years, giving her experience with parenting strain, caregiving stress, blended family issues, addiction, and aging-related concerns.

She explains options in clear language and adjusts pacing to match each person's situation. In session people can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and homework when useful. Vicky supports clients in setting attainable goals and tracking progress so change feels manageable.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered work means sessions start with the client's priorities and build from there. The therapist asks about immediate concerns, listens, and adjusts the pace and focus to fit each person's goals. This approach helps when parents need practical support and straightforward planning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors with clear exercises. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits tied to addiction or stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people stay present during parenting challenges or strong emotions.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help figure out which methods match a client's needs and preferences and may combine techniques over time. Clients and the therapist set goals together and check progress regularly to keep work focused and flexible.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversational work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, setting goals, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied daily routines.
