More about Victor
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LPC, LCMHC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) in Utah. I work with adults navigating trauma, severe depression, intense emotional stress, and relationship stress. I also have experience supporting veterans and men in high-pressure roles who need a steady, practical space to slow down, think clearly, and regain stability.
My approach is calm, structured, and direct. I bring a grounded presence to difficult conversations and help clients sort through what feels overwhelming without judgment. Clients often describe feeling fully heard in our work and able to be genuinely honest and vulnerable.
I believe therapy should feel grounded and purposeful. My work focuses on resilience, accountability, and realistic hope. Together, we identify what is getting in the way, strengthen coping skills, and take deliberate steps toward greater clarity, stability, and forward movement.
I also believe that the right therapeutic fit matters. If at any point it feels like I am not the right fit for you, I welcome that conversation openly. Your growth matters more than obligation, and therapy should feel honest, useful, and aligned with your needs.

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.
