About Victoria
Victoria Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of practice. She uses a person-centered style and aims to treat people with respect and unconditional positive regard. Victoria focuses on real-life problems parents and adults bring, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship stress.
She draws on many years of work across mental health agencies and settings. That experience includes helping people in individual, couples, family, and group contexts.
Background and approach
Her background as a mother of seven, including a son on the autism spectrum, informs her practical understanding of parenting and family strains. Victoria creates treatment plans tailored to each person. She blends approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness with a client-centered stance.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping skills, and step-by-step problem solving. Common concerns she addresses include stress, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy and relationship issues, sleep problems, and workplace or career stress. She also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas listed include communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and intellectual disability. Her practice aims to empower people to move past obstacles and build routines that support daily life. She encourages anyone who feels stuck to take the next step and complete the matching process to arrange a session.
Victoria works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients as noted.
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-based action so someone can take small steps toward what matters despite hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so people get coping tools, clearer thinking, and steps to improve daily routines.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how she offers online work. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different time zones. Licensed professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools through remote appointments, and the initial matching process will help plan the best way to meet your needs.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
