About Victor
Victor Incerti is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with four decades of clinical work. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggles with addiction. He offers a steady, practical presence for someone taking the first step toward change.
Victor centers sessions on each person’s strengths and life story. He treats clients as the experts on their own experience and helps them build skills that fit their daily life.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and respectful, aimed at clear goals rather than jargon. His approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused care. That mix lets him match methods to the issue at hand - from managing anxious thoughts to processing difficult memories.
Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and practical next steps to try between meetings. Victor has long experience with concerns common in later life and caregiving, as well as issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria. He also supports people navigating addiction, chronic illness, pain, and relationship patterns that cause guilt, shame, or isolation.
Clients who want clear steps, calm accountability, and an emphasis on personal strengths tend to find his style useful. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and a supportive space to make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life, combining careful pacing with practical coping tools.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps pinpoint what feels most helpful and realistic for each person.
Online sessions make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing problem-solving, short check-ins, or writing-focused work between meetings. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
