About Eric
Dr. Eric Victorino uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. He is a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - working online from New York.
He keeps sessions focused on what matters now and helps clients build skills they can actually use between meetings. He draws on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused care to address intense emotions and unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Victorino earned a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling with a specialization in Traumatology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He also brings lived experience as a combat veteran, which informs his calm and grounded presence in sessions. He has four years of clinical experience and uses that time to tailor plans to each person's circumstances.
Sessions move at the client’s pace. The work might include identifying thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, practicing breathing or mindfulness techniques, and setting concrete goals for daily life. He emphasizes simple tools that reduce overwhelm and improve coping between meetings.
Parents and those worried about family dynamics will find straightforward strategies for communication and stress management. He also supports people dealing with trauma, mood concerns, addiction, sleep problems, chronic pain, and career stress. Conversations are practical and focused on immediate steps that lead to more stability.
People who reach out can expect a steady, empathetic clinician who listens first and then builds a plan together. The emphasis is on skill-building, resilience, and creating manageable change over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around what matters most to the client. It prioritizes empathy, pacing the work to match the client's comfort, and helps people feel heard while deciding what steps to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves learning to spot unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.
Trauma-focused therapy attends to the effects of painful experiences and teaches practical skills to manage intense reactions. It can help people reduce the hold traumatic memories have over daily life and improve coping with triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That means starting with what the person wants to change and adapting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to meet from home, check in between sessions, or use shorter messaging contacts when busy, offering practical flexibility for ongoing care.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
