About Victor

Victor Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting difficulties, and related issues among his main focus areas.

He has provided care in a variety of settings, including a shelter for survivors of family violence and sexual assault, a substance abuse recovery facility, and a community mental health agency. He has also given presentations for professional groups and employee assistance programs. Victor works with people from diverse backgrounds and has experience connected to physician health programs and EAP referrals.

Victor describes a style that blends listening with education and action. He asks for honesty and openness and notes that therapy can be challenging. He aims to help people notice patterns, build healthier coping, and clarify values and goals over time.

Much of his recent work has focused on concerns around sexual media and problematic sexual behavior, including porn-related difficulties and sex addiction. He frames these concerns alongside addiction, shame, secrecy, and relationship strain, and offers focused support in that area.

He uses a mixture of approaches to guide sessions and encourages clients to learn more about their needs and choices. His practice currently offers voice call (phone/audio) and live chat sessions, and he asks prospective clients to confirm session arrangements through the platform before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Victor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in his work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. EFT centers on identifying emotions and improving how people respond to them, useful for attachment and relationship-related concerns.

He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people build awareness of present-moment experience and reduce reactivity. Each approach is presented in clear, practical terms so people can try different ways of working and see what fits their needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can change over time as concerns and priorities shift.

Confirm which online session formats are available before booking. The biography notes voice call (phone/audio) and live chat are offered, so check the platform for current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time, which can help maintain regular contact and build momentum toward goals.
