About Victor
Victor Grimes is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia with over 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He also lists support for addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, LGBT concerns, and parenting challenges.
Victor began his career working with people who have developmental disabilities and continued with a broad mix of emotional and mental health issues. He uses assessment to shape treatment and draws on several therapy approaches to fit the person in front of him. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical steps forward.
In practice he combines techniques from cognitive behavioral work, psychodynamic thinking, and other methods to address both current problems and deeper patterns. He pays attention to how past experiences affect present reactions and relationships. Conversations aim to make thinking clearer and choices easier.
He also works with relationship concerns including communication, attachment, intimacy, and separations. For people navigating grief, career shifts, or parenting stress, he offers problem-focused strategies alongside longer-term reflection. He names specific areas like abandonment, codependency, and blended family issues among his experience.
Victor accepts clients in English and notes that international clients are possible. He uses an initial assessment to plan next steps and emphasizes collaborative work on goals. To start, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Victor often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when working with stress, anxiety, addiction, or goal-oriented changes. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want and build motivation for change.He also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past experiences shape present reactions and relationship patterns. That approach can help when recurring relationship issues, attachment concerns, or long-standing emotional patterns are present. Together these methods let him address both immediate problems and deeper influences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He uses an assessment and then collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together how to balance short-term skills and longer exploration.
