About Victoria
Victoria Cashio is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life changes. Her approach is practical and person-centered, focused on what feels useful for each individual.
She blends several therapy styles to match a person's needs rather than using one fixed method. That can mean using cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness practices to manage intense feelings, or client-centered conversation to clarify goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are guided by the person in therapy and adjusted as progress is made. Victoria has worked with people affected by trauma, including combat-related and sexual trauma, and tends to combine techniques that address both emotional responses and daily functioning. She pays attention to how attachment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and family history shape current struggles.
Practical skills and coping strategies are a regular part of her work. People who want clear steps and respect for their values may find this approach helpful. She emphasizes listening, collaboration, and regular feedback so sessions stay focused on what the client wants to change.
Her style aims to be direct but compassionate. Therapy topics she commonly addresses include anger, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, career issues, money stress, gender dysphoria concerns, and loneliness. She adapts methods to each person's situation and life stage.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the client's goals lead the conversation. The therapist reflects back what she hears and helps clarify values and choices, which can be especially useful for people feeling stuck or unsure about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a hands-on approach that looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It offers practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help in day-to-day situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to find methods that fit the person's life and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with low bandwidth, live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from work or home, fit help into a busy day, and keep momentum between meetings.
