Meet Victoria, Online Therapist for Women in New York
Hi, I’m Victoria! I started my career as a therapist in NYC over a decade ago, and have been offering online therapy to my clients since 2018 (yes, pre-COVID!). I’m a firm believer in increasing access to mental healthcare, and have found over the years that not only do most of my clients make progress just as fast online (and research confirms this), but they even prefer the convenience of meeting with a therapist from their own safe space at home. I now live in Denver, and value the work I still get to do with my east-coast clients.
At my therapy practice Root to Rise Therapy, I specialize in helping high-achieving, anxious, people-pleasing women and new moms stop overthinking and learn how to put their needs first. I help my clients heal from self-doubt, imposter syndrome and the unique challenges that women in this 21st century world face. I’ll help you move from self-doubt to self-trust, and finally learn to make space for yourself in your own life. Check out my specialty areas below!
Online Therapy for Anxiety
Online therapy is highly effective for treating anxiety. For many women, anxiety often comes with feeling over-scheduled and overwhelmed, making it hard to fit one more thing into an already packed routine. The thought of planning for a commute or navigating unknowns can add to the stress. Maybe you are a perfectionist, juggling an endless to-do-list plus plans and commitments. Or you struggle with people-pleasing, and in-person sessions trigger a fear of judgment or negative reactions. Attending therapy from the comfort of your home can ease these burdens, helping to reduce anxiety about the process itself and making it easier to participate and open up. Many women find that discussing sensitive or triggering topics feels safer and more comfortable in their own familiar space. Learn more about online anxiety therapy in New York here.
Online Therapy for Perfectionism
As a perfectionist, you’re constantly trying to optimize your schedule - not “waste” time where you could be producing or “doing”. Online therapy for perfectionists in New York allows you to work on your mental health without losing time to an unnecessary commute. Seeing your therapist over video also allows you to feel more comfortable in your own home, and takes some of the pressure off that you might otherwise feel to present yourself in a certain way. Attending therapy at home gives you more emotional bandwidth to be vulnerable, tap into your feelings and connect to your values.

Online Therapy for Postpartum Anxiety and Depression
As a new mom, your plate is already full—balancing feeding and nap schedules, running on little-to-no sleep, and sometimes just struggling to leave the house at all. Online therapy offers an effective way to address mental health issues like postpartum anxiety and depression from the comfort of your home, making it less overwhelming to take that important step. You don’t need to worry about finding a babysitter—I welcome you to have your baby with you during video sessions if that feels comfortable for you. Your time and energy are incredibly valuable, and eliminating the need for a commute can make a huge difference in your life. Online postpartum therapy in New York ensures new moms have access to mental healthcare when it might otherwise feel out of reach.
Online Therapy for Imposter Syndrome
If you struggle with imposter syndrome, you’re no stranger to self-doubt. Attending online therapy for imposter syndrome from the comfort of your own home allows you to safer letting your guard down, and reduces the pressure to perform that may feel all-too-familiar in an in-person setting. You may even find it easier to discuss vulnerable topics (like fear of failure and shame) when there is a bit of physical distance.

Online Therapy for High Achievers
High-achieving women are often extremely skilled at appearing calm, competent, productive, and emotionally together - even when they’re struggling internally. The problem is, all of this masking takes immense energy, often leads to burnout, and doesn’t get to the core of what’s going on. Sometimes, in-person environments can unintentionally activate that same “performance mode”. Attending video therapy sessions from home can help you feel safer letter your guard down, and avoids having travel to therapy becoming one more thing you’re carrying in the mental load.

Online Therapy for Cultural Identity
One huge benefit of online therapy is the ability to select a provider from anywhere in your state, focusing on who you connect with the most. If your surrounding area lacks therapists from your cultural or racial background or has limited providers from diverse backgrounds, online therapy opens up the opportunity to find someone who truly understands and resonates with you—even if they’re not nearby.
Online Therapy Throughout All Of New York
A significant benefit of online counseling is that whether you live in the 5 boroughs of NYC, further upstate in White Plains or Poughkeepsie, or out in Garden City, you can access therapy comfortably from your own home.
Benefits of Online Therapy
Save Time with Online Therapy
You are a busy, high achieving woman, you don’t have time for train delays and commuter traffic to get to therapy! New Yorkers know that something has to be REALLY important to get you to leave your neighborhood in your free time. No need to rush back from your weekend upstate to meet at an office, or take the entire morning off to attend a 50 minute appointment. Online therapy provides you the flexibility to meet from wherever you have a comfortable and private space with a secure connection, whether that’s at home, in your office, at an airbnb or your parents’ house in the suburbs.
Access High Quality Care with Online Therapy
Online therapy allows you to connect to specialists from all over the state. Maybe you live in a small town in the Catskills where there isn’t much access to mental healthcare. Maybe all the specialists in your neighborhood have long wait lists, or there aren’t many providers of diverse backgrounds in your town or neighborhood. Online therapy allows you to see a therapist who may live across the state, but gets you in a way that someone more local to where you live may not.
Online Therapy is Highly Effective
Online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions, and many clients find it even easier to open up from the comfort of their own homes compared to the formality of being in an office. Virtual appointments offer more flexibility, making it easier to manage childcare, eliminate the stress of detailed planning, and choose the space that feels most comfortable and convenient for you.
