About Victor
Dr. Victor Franco is a bilingual licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He works with people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, eating issues, and struggles with self-esteem or career change. He also supports LGBT clients and people coping with trauma and abuse, plus issues related to abandonment and attachment.
He uses straightforward, talk-based care that focuses on a person’s values and strengths. Sessions aim to identify practical steps for day-to-day life and to build skills people can use between meetings. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful patterns and make room for meaningful action.
Dr. Franco brings 23 years of clinical experience in New York. He holds a Master-level license as a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - and has graduate study in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis. He is pursuing a doctoral degree in counseling while staying engaged with national and international mental health organizations.
His work with trauma survivors in a large New York organization is a key part of his background. That experience informs his approach to people recovering from traumatic events, including those affected by natural or human-caused disaster. He helps clients notice strengths, set realistic goals, and take small, steady steps toward change.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. International clients may be supported; confirm current session options before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so people can move toward what matters even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone continue care when rebuilding routines after a disruptive event, such as a natural or human-caused disaster. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT methods to work in live sessions, focusing on practical exercises and take-home strategies that fit everyday life.
