I’m so thankful for my therapist. She supported me through a really difficult and emotional time in my life with patience kindness and zero judgment. She helped me process heavy feelings, release guilt, and gain clarity while reminding me to honor myself. I always felt heard and supported. I highly recommend her.

I’m still getting to know Victoria as a therapist, our first session was great. We dove deep but we still came out above water. I’m looking forward to our future sessions.

As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients through challenges related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. I bring a deeply compassionate approach to working with LGBTQ+ individuals, women, and those exploring personal identity and workplace dynamics.
My therapeutic style prioritizes creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their authentic selves. I draw from evidence-based practices to help individuals develop stronger communication skills, build self-love, and address social anxiety. My background allows me to support clients through nuanced experiences of sexuality, body image, and personal growth.
I am committed to providing culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique journey. Whether you're working through mood challenges, relationship dynamics, or personal transformation, I'm here to support you with empathy, expertise, and genuine understanding.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Victoria Minick as a therapist is amazing. At first I was nervous seeking therapy due to my case but I’m glad I chose to seek therapy. Her words of encouragement and support has really been used in these troubling days. I am happy to have her as my therapist.
She responds to my messages in a timely manner. She has been accommodating as I muddle through the process. I appreciate her
Wonderful human being who listens, is attentive, and challenges my ideas to make me a better person.
