About Victor
Victor Grimes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tension, addiction, trauma, grief, and related concerns such as self-esteem and ADHD. Victor also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career strain, and life changes.
Victor began his career working with people who have developmental disabilities and later broadened his practice to include a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns. He uses a few established approaches and picks methods after a thorough assessment. That means he looks at what each person brings and adjusts the focus to practical goals.
Sessions often include talking through thoughts and patterns that make daily life harder. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking, and on Motivational Interviewing to support changes a person wants to make. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice long-standing patterns that repeat in relationships.
People who come to him for social anxiety or phobia, relationship problems, or coping with grief will find a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper exploration. He also incorporates approaches like the Gottman Method for relationship work and solution-focused techniques when quick, actionable steps are helpful.
Victor offers straightforward guidance and regular check-ins to track progress. He asks questions, sets practical steps, and revisits goals as needs change. His practice aims to help people reduce symptoms, improve communication, and manage daily challenges more effectively.
Approaches used and online sessions
Victor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and avoidance. CBT focuses on specific thoughts and behaviors and often gives concrete exercises to try between sessions. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make a change but feel stuck; this approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victor will discuss options and goals with each person and help choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Ask about the practical options available and how session scheduling, subscription billing, and cancellations are handled so sessions fit into everyday life.
