Victor Rose, LCSW

Victor Rose is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to counseling for children, adolescents, adults, and families. He has a decade of experience working with diverse populations, including people affected by substance use, survivors of domestic violence, children and families involved with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, adults involved in the criminal justice system, LGBT youth and adults, and unstably housed adults. That background informs a practical style that emphasizes resilience and real-world tools.

Victor's clinical work has included anger management, parenting training, cognitive and behavioral skills for depression and anxiety, trauma-focused counseling, relapse prevention, and resolving family problems. He uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to address negative thinking and to build adaptive coping skills, while drawing on strengths and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify resources and next steps.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can feel difficult, Victor offers a supportive environment that centers each person’s priorities. Sessions are organized around the client's goals with the aim of offering tangible strategies and skills to support growth, healing, and forward movement in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work, focusing on empathy and collaboration so individuals can explore their values and strengths while making changes that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, anger management, and coping with crises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Victor works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and tailors methods so treatment fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single model.

Online sessions make it easier to receive consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide greater flexibility to schedule appointments around work, school, or family demands, and allow people to continue therapy from different locations when needed, while still working with licensed professionals to build skills and make progress.
