About Victoria

Victoria Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship issues, grief, and parenting among the areas she addresses. She also works with clients facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges, and intimacy-related issues.

Scott uses a person-centered approach in sessions. That means she listens first and focuses on each person's goals. She describes working with individuals, couples, families and groups and has experience across a wide age range. Her background includes supporting people with substance concerns and trauma symptoms.

Her experience includes work in several mental health agencies. That variety informs how she structures sessions and plans treatment. She combines practical techniques with reflective conversation to help people clarify what matters and try different coping strategies.

Scott draws on several clinical approaches when they fit the situation. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness methods. She adapts tools from those approaches to address anxiety, relationship patterns, and mood concerns.

She is a mother of seven and has personal experience supporting a child on the autism spectrum. That life experience is part of how she understands family stress and caregiving strain. She aims to work respectfully and to create practical next steps during sessions.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Scott notes that subscription billing is used for sessions and that it can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for ongoing anxiety, mood concerns, and situations where people want clearer direction about what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, sleeping problems, and low mood because it gives concrete skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. That collaborative process means methods can shift as the client gains experience or circumstances change.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school. It also allows shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and can reduce travel time. Any practical choices about scheduling, session length, or communication style are decided together to match the client's needs.
