Dr. Eric Victorino, LMHC

Dr. Eric Victorino uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a central part of his practice. He combines practical strategies with a listening approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He is Dr. Eric Victorino, licensed as an LMHC in New York, and he draws on both professional training and life experience in sessions.

He holds a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling with a specialization in Traumatology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Those degrees inform how he structures sessions and thinks about recovery. He has four years of clinical experience working with concerns such as anger, grief, addictions, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue.

Eric emphasizes a client-centered style. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him, and progress moves at a comfortable pace. Conversations tend to center on practical skills - thinking patterns, coping tools, and small behavior changes that can ease daily strain.

He also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build resilience and handle immediate problems. For people who have lived through trauma, he incorporates trauma-focused ideas to reduce the hold painful memories can have on everyday life. The goal is to leave each session with a few usable strategies to try between meetings.

People often come to him for help with parenting stress, relationship strain, sleep problems, career uncertainty, chronic pain or illness, and feelings of isolation. He aims to support emotional recovery while helping clients set realistic goals and practice new ways of coping.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats. Eric approaches each person with empathy and practical direction so they can work toward steadier days.

How CBT and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care

Dr. Victorino often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on simple exercises, short skill-building tasks, and clear steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

He also uses client-centered methods, which place the person's priorities first. That approach means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps tailor strategies to a person's situation rather than following a fixed plan. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to teach attention and breathing practices that calm the body and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals, preferences, and needs, then adapt methods as work progresses. People may try CBT exercises for a few sessions, then mix in mindfulness or solution-focused work depending on what helps.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have a full conversational session and use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on goals and to use new skills in daily life.
