Dr. Eric Victorino , LMHC

Dr. Eric Victorino provides online therapy in New York and Connecticut, focusing on creating a welcoming space where people can safely explore their feelings and behaviors. He holds a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling with a specialization in Traumatology from Liberty University (2024). A doctorate is an advanced graduate degree that builds expertise in clinical practice and trauma-informed work. He also earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Medaille College (2020), a graduate-level degree that prepares counselors to support people through a range of mental health challenges.

His perspective has been shaped by 28 years of combat service in the United States Army, an experience that informs his understanding and compassion for those who are struggling. He practices using patient-centered, resiliency-focused, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help clients navigate difficult moments and build coping skills. He emphasizes meeting each person where they are and moving at a pace that feels right for them.

In sessions he listens with empathy to individual needs and goals and works collaboratively to create a personalized plan. The goal is for clients to leave sessions with practical tools they can use in day-to-day life while strengthening resilience and confidence for future challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Eric Victorino uses client-centered therapy to place the individual at the center of the work, listening closely and adapting pace and goals to meet each person where they are. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and make personal changes.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop concrete strategies to change them. CBT is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, trauma-focused therapy is used to address the effects of traumatic experiences, offering tools to process and reduce the ongoing impact of trauma on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Victorino works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. His work with clients combines assessment, feedback, and shared decision making to tailor care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations and at times that fit their schedules. This variety of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
