Dr. Victoria Lawlor is a Licensed psychologist and Assistant Director of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). She specializes in working with teens and adults experiencing obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders (including social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and specific phobias), depression, and relationship difficulties. Victoria’s approach to therapy is collaborative, affirming, and evidence-based. She draws from Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and self-compassion-based interventions.
Victoria began her doctoral training at Emory University in 2018, earning her M.A in Clinical Psychology in 2022 and Ph.D. in 2024. She completed her predoctoral internship at the Emory University School of Medicine and was a post-doctoral fellow at ASoA. Victoria has worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds and received extensive training in the treatment of OCD and anxiety across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospital settings. She understands how world-shrinking OCD and anxiety can be and has seen how evidence-based treatments can provide freedom and peace.
Originally from the northeast, Victoria now calls Atlanta home. In her spare time, Victoria loves lounging with her cats Ernie and Sofia (who often join her as Telehealth co-therapists), going to local shows, reading memoirs, and crafting.
