Victoria Lichtman has been in practice 3 years and is licensed in Wisconsin. Victoria lists stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and self esteem among 21 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.

01 · Who Victoria works with
Victoria lists 5 specialisms and 16 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Victoria chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Victoria's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, helping clients address stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with empathetic, compassionate, personalized care. I'm particularly attuned to issues surrounding social anxiety, isolation, self-esteem, and personal growth. I believe that empowerment means living a meaningful life congruent with one's values and is essentially about getting what you need each and every day.
I am a Social Worker by training, and I recently transitioned to a career in clinical services after working in the humanitarian and human rights sector in non-profit agencies in the US and overseas. I have experience working with different adult populations: immigrants, justice-involved individuals and those struggling with significant life stressors (socioeconomic barriers, chronic pain, grief, caregiving) or grappling with substance abuse.
I am curious about how culture shapes one’s values, overall purpose, and core identity. I use mostly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques so that we may challenge and eventually overcome limiting beliefs, modify maladaptive behaviors, and develop helpful coping strategies. I fundamentally believe that emotional regulation is the key to building resilience and optimal psychological functioning.
My approach is humanistic and collaborative, seeking to understand each person's unique journey. I am passionate about the process of meaning making and storytelling: we are authors of our own story and the journey we take is just as important as where we end up. I look forward to working with you to guide you towards greater self-understanding and to learn what works for you.

03 · What happens next
Victoria practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Victoria's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Victoria at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Victoria is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Victoria.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Provenance
Victoria's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Victoria. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.

Maker Therapy is user-supported - when you start through our links we may earn a commission from BetterHelp at no extra cost to you.
