About Victor
Dr. Victor Franco, LMHC, has 23 years of clinical experience and practices in New York. He speaks English and Spanish. He lists stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career matters, and bipolar among his main focus areas.
He uses practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address patterns that keep problems going. He also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how relationships and early bonds shape current struggles.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments to test new ways of responding. He helps clients break large problems into manageable steps and track progress. When relationships or attachment themes are central, he works to identify interaction patterns and communication habits that contribute to conflict or disconnection.
Dr. Franco has graduate degrees in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis, and is engaged in doctoral studies in counseling. He has worked with trauma survivors in a large New York organization, and he notes extensive experience with LGBT clients. He connects clinical approaches to everyday problems like parenting strain, work stress, body image, and caregiving demands.
He accepts international clients and offers work in both English and Spanish. Practical concerns such as session scheduling and subscription cost depend on location and are handled through the booking process.
How his approaches fit into online sessions
Dr. Franco commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors with structured exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. ACT emphasizes values and committed action - noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking steps aligned with what matters to the person.He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. That approach helps when communication, intimacy, or long-standing relational patterns are part of the problem. He aims to work collaboratively so the client and he decide which approaches suit the client’s goals and preferences.
