She is excellent and I feel like she is the mother I never had in the sense that she doesn't coddle me like my real mom did. She is straight forward and direct.

More about Victoria

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LISW

Greetings;

My name is Victoria M. Marion, MSSA, LISW-S. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio where I received my bachelor's degree in social work at Ursuline College and then my master's degree in social work at Case Western Reserve. I also have a clinical license in Substance Use Disorder. I have over 20 years of experience with mental health and substance abuse. My invaluable mentors encouraged me to seek therapy so that I will be able to understand the feelings many clients feel when they are asked to share their life experiences with a stranger. I understand how much faith and courage it takes to seek help, which adds to my compassion and sincere willingness to help you.

My experience has taught me to ask you what happened instead of what's wrong. My various therapy styles include: Cognitive Behavioral, Client Centered, Couples Therapy and Integrated Trauma Treatment. The past 10 years have afforded me the privilege of working with veterans who have suffered with chronic homelessness as a result of untreated substance use and/or mental health issues like PTSD.

I understand how difficult it is to begin the process, so let me help you, support you, and get you back on the road of living and enjoying life.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Victoria is likely a source of inspiration and comfort to everyone she meets. She is as calm as she is wise. She doesn't judge. She has experience and it shows. I love her very direct, but polite manner and her sense of humor is on point. She likes to talk, but it's not for her; she offers herself as a steadfast wall off which one can bounce ideas and figure out together, how best to help oneself. Victoria, thank you.

In just 3 short months we worked through seven topics that I have been struggling through for a decade. I have had the more progress and success with Victoria than any other of my previous therapists. She meets me where I’m at, and encourages me to take real action. She takes the time to fully understand my situation, and what I’m comfortable with. 10/10 would recommend

I absolutely love the way she communicates. She has told me something she believes in several times. She didn’t push for me to understand. But as sessions kept going, I was able to understand what she meant they that statement. She asked me a question that I felt my answer was completely a little effed up. But she understood it. I thank her for being able to understand that and not being judgey.
