Victoria Cashio

Victoria Cashio is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Hawaii and has 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, sleep trouble, and struggles at work or school. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, addiction, and identity questions related to gender or sexual orientation.

Victoria uses a straightforward, person-centered approach. She listens first, then tailors the work to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings alongside conversations that make sense of what's happening now.

Her background includes training in several evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and mindfulness-based work. She integrates these methods rather than following a single script, picking techniques that suit the issue at hand and the person in front of her.

Victoria emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapy relationship. She says feedback is important and will adjust pace and direction based on what is helpful. If you have had prior therapy, she will work to make the new relationship feel purposeful and safe to engage with.

People who choose her often want a practical plan plus a thoughtful listener. She aims to help individuals move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping while honoring each person’s unique story.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to you. It involves shaping sessions around your goals and giving you space to say what helps or does not help. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and relationships, which can help when anger or intense feelings interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about your goals and preferences and suggest techniques drawn from these approaches. Together you can try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in your day-to-day routine.

Confirm session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and let people use a shorter check-in when needed. It can also allow sessions during a work break or from another location that suits your routine. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and person-centered techniques to work effectively in remote sessions when those formats are arranged.
