About Victor
Victor Grimes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Georgia with over 20 years of experience. He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and codependency. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, career shifts, and ADHD-related concerns.
He began his work in New York City and now practices from Atlanta, Georgia. Much of his experience comes from supporting people with developmental disabilities alongside emotional and mental health concerns. That background shapes a practical, patient approach to everyday problems.
Victor uses a mix of approaches chosen after a full assessment. He individualizes care to match each person's needs rather than relying on one fixed method. In sessions he looks for limiting thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
He describes himself as compassionate, understanding, and insightful. He focuses on helping people find balance and move toward their goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward, goal-focused, and tied to what matters most in daily life.
Victor emphasizes mental wellness as an ongoing practice. He encourages people to use support from counselors, friends, and family while building skills to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficult life transitions. He welcomes questions and invites prospective clients to consider whether his style fits their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Victor commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people increase motivation for change and is useful for addictions, ambivalence, and goal-oriented work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist conducts an initial assessment and then collaborates with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. This is a team effort where strategies can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
