Dr. Victor Franco, LMHC

Dr. Victor Franco offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and concerns related to sexual identity. He speaks English and Spanish and brings 23 years of clinical work to sessions. He holds the LMHC credential and practices in New York.

He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions focus on thoughts and everyday habits, building skills people can use between appointments. He aims to help clients notice patterns, test new choices, and strengthen what already works.

Past work in a large New York organization included supporting trauma survivors and LGBTQ people, which informs his approach with people facing similar concerns. He also draws on study in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis to shape how he thinks about problems and recovery.

Dr. Franco favors collaborative work. He helps people clarify goals and picks methods that fit each person’s needs and pace. Many clients work on improving relationships, managing mood shifts, or changing daily habits that fuel anxiety and depression.

His practice emphasizes practical steps and learning through experience. He helps people locate strengths, handle setbacks, and create routines that support emotional well-being. The focus is on workable changes clients can use in regular life, not on jargon or complicated protocols.

How therapy approaches translate to an online setting

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that move toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep people from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through clear exercises and skill practice. It often suits people who want concrete tools to manage mood, worry, or habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at close relationships and how early patterns shape current connections, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Franco will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust over time. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which strategies to use and when to shift focus.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep momentum between appointments. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and lets people choose settings that reduce distractions or interruptions. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, check current options when you schedule so sessions fit your routine.
