About Victoria
Victoria Cannon is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Arizona with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and stress. She also addresses grief, addictions, eating and intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to parenting and career changes.
Victoria aims to understand how a person's past and present connect. She spends time getting to know each person's goals before suggesting practical steps forward. That includes building coping skills for panic, mood challenges, postpartum concerns, and reactions after a disaster.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how emotions and attachment patterns shape behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to support change. Sessions may include talking through painful memories, noticing patterns in relationships, and practicing present-moment skills.
Victoria emphasizes building a reliable therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She focuses on helping people reduce shame and guilt, understand abandonment and codependency patterns, and work through family of origin and fatherhood issues when those affect current life. Practical strategies often accompany emotional processing.
Her practice includes work around post-traumatic stress, dissociation, bipolar and mood disorders, and coping with life transitions. The first step is usually clarifying goals, then choosing approaches that fit those goals. She uses she/her pronouns and offers care in English.
How Emotion-Focused, Acceptance, and Attachment Work Online
Victoria draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with hard-to-identify feelings and relationship patterns. EFT focuses on the emotional experience and how it shapes interactions and reactions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and commit to values-based actions, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds influence current relationships and behavior. Mindfulness elements are used to practice staying present and reducing reactivity.
Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions to what the person needs most.
