About Victor
He has 23 years of clinical experience and holds the LMHC credential, which indicates a licensed mental health counselor. He also completed graduate study in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis and is pursuing doctoral work in counseling. Those training experiences inform how he thinks about behavior, emotion, and meaning in life.
In sessions he draws from several approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful patterns and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-focused ideas guide work on trust and relationship patterns, while a client-centered stance keeps the work grounded in each person's goals and pace.
Dr. Franco aims to help clients identify strengths, manage symptoms, and build routines that fit daily life. He pays attention to how past hurts shape current behavior and helps people try small changes to test new ways of relating. Many clients find this mix useful for both immediate problems and longer-term growth.
He offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most, and take small steps toward those values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and practicing new, testable habits to change those patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and helps people try new ways of relating and building trust.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a quick update helps keep progress on track. They also let people work with a licensed professional in a different region, which can expand choices for specialized experience and language match.
