Vicky Burgh-Harris, LCSW

Vicky Burgh-Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She focuses on everyday stresses such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, and the challenges of caregiving and aging. She draws on two decades of experience to help people manage big life changes and recurring problems.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She talks with clients about clear goals and practical steps. Sessions are interactive and focused on what a person wants to change next.

Vicky uses a mix of approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and build routines that support better days.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns such as parenting strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, and career stress. She also lists aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress among her focus areas for those navigating later-life challenges.

Her background includes many years working in clinical settings with adults and others facing complex needs. Vicky emphasizes practical change and steady problem-solving over long theoretical discussion. To begin, she asks about current struggles and what a successful session would look like.

How therapy approaches and online work fit together

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist follows your lead and helps you clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and create space for different choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match needs, preferences, and goals. That can mean trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let clients meet from locations that suit their schedule. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is tight, while others use video to work through skills and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work to online sessions, keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
