Victor Rose, LCSW

Online approaches that focus on skills and solutions

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and aims to create an accepting space where people can talk through what matters most. It helps when someone needs a steady, listening presence while they sort out feelings or make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that are useful for strong emotions and relationship challenges. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Victor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect a partner who helps set clear, manageable goals and practices new skills between sessions. Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share between appointments. These options make it easier to get therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to stick with a plan over time.
