Victor Perez, LPC - Therapist in New Jersey

About Victor

Victor Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with six years of clinical work. He focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and difficulty coping with life changes. He also helps with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and supports people managing sleep problems and career stress.

He approaches sessions believing the client knows their story best. He listens for strengths and builds on what already works.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at small steps that make a difference over time. Victor uses a mix of approaches that match what each person needs. He draws on client-centered work to create a respectful, person-driven space.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. When emotions feel overwhelming he can teach skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. He often combines these tools to address problems like panic, obsessions, post-traumatic stress, isolation, and communication breakdowns.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Victor supports people facing multicultural challenges, men's issues, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and challenges common to young adults. He aims to make therapy practical, readable, and relevant for people juggling busy lives.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Victor uses client-centered therapy to keep the focus on each person's goals and values, providing a respectful space where the client's experience shapes the direction of work. This approach helps when people need a supportive listener and collaborative planning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related problems by teaching clear strategies and homework you can practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools can help with anger, mood swings, and overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Victor will work with each person to try methods that fit their needs and goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. He aims to match techniques to the problem rather than applying the same method to everyone.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect from home, handle short check-ins, or use written check-ins when that feels more helpful.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
