About Victor

Dr. Victor Franco is a bilingual clinician who provides therapy in both English and Spanish and brings a broad academic background to his clinical work. He holds graduate degrees in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis, reflecting advanced study of thought processes, brain function, and psychodynamic perspectives, and he is pursuing doctoral studies in Counseling to further deepen his skills. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), he combines academic training with practical experience to address complex emotional and interpersonal concerns.

He maintains active involvement with national and international mental health organizations, which helps him stay current with developments in the field. Dr. Franco has extensive experience supporting LGBTQ individuals and trauma survivors, including work with trauma-affected clients at a large organization in New York. His practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, eating and body image issues, and a range of other concerns.

Dr. Franco aims to guide clients toward recognizing their core strengths and navigating obstacles that impede emotional growth. He emphasizes collaborative work to help clients build more meaningful, fulfilling lives while addressing the specific patterns and concerns that brought them to therapy.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful behavior changes, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that block personal goals. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses - this approach is often helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and trauma-related attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to shift them, making it a common choice for stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Victor Franco works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and he tailors the plan as therapy unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to fit each person’s situation.

Online therapy with Dr. Franco is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit varied schedules and time zones. These options make it easier to access consistent care, accommodate work or family obligations, and continue therapy when in-person visits are not practical.
