Victoria Stalder , LMFT

Victoria Stalder is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Washington who has worked with individuals and couples since 2018. As an LMFT she brings specialized training in relationships and family systems to help people navigate personal struggles and interpersonal challenges. She supports those managing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, addictions, grief, parenting questions, self-esteem issues, and transitions in life.

Victoria emphasizes evidence-based approaches and aims to empower clients to identify goals and develop practical skills for change. Her sessions combine relational understanding with techniques that address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so clients can move toward greater understanding, healing, and growth. She strives to maintain a respectful, nonjudgmental space where each person or couple can tell their story and try new ways of relating.

Her style is collaborative and tailored - interventions are selected to fit the needs and preferences of the individual or partnership. Victoria invites clients to work at a pace that feels manageable and to build resilience over time. "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the BRAVEST thing that we'll ever do" - Brene Brown.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

The practice draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and helps people improve trust, intimacy, and relational safety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist supports clients in finding their own solutions by listening deeply and validating each person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive strategies, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This tailored exploration helps ensure interventions feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals.
