About me

Welcome to Better Help. I am Victoria and I am very happy to be able to offer you a variety of styles of communication through video chat, speaking on the phone or emailing. I have over 35 years of counseling experience and provide a positive and warm environment to help you move forward on your journey. I use a Reality Therapy based counseling approach along with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). My specialty areas are Career Changes, Life Changes, Parenting, Stress and Anxiety counseling. I have much first hand experience as a career military spouse and truly understand the stressors that military life puts on families. I am fluent in ASL and work daily with Deaf and Hard of Hearing people as well as those with vision loss. I am a full time school counselor, working with middle and high school aged students, daily. All of the students I serve are special needs. I have a unique way of helping all students develop self-esteem.
I have been practicing yoga since 2001 and look forward to helping you find a variety of techniques to help you cope with life's daily stress through healthful activities. I check messages 3 times daily but always leave a message stating your optimum contact method and preference for time.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Victoria Baker. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

Highly recommend Victoria! She helped my husband and I get through a difficult time in our marriage over the course of a few months. She was very understanding and gave us equal time and space as individuals. She helped us find solutions to meeting each other’s needs which seemed impossible before we began our counseling sessions.

Victoria Baker is a gem! I worked with her throughout a difficult year during the pandemic. Now, back with her for a second time, dealing with medical issues and post surgical care. Victoria is knowledgeable and intuitive in all areas that pertain to mental health; she brings many alternatives to the table. Ms. Baker is well versed in non conventional therapies that work as an adjunct to mental health counseling.
teen counseling can only be as good as it’s counselors and on that note I rate them highest on their survey scales. Thank you for your service!
